This affordable option near downtown Willows is very charming and well run. You can walk to more places to eat than I can count, and shopping in downtown. Highly recommended. The owners are darling.

Stayed just 1 night on my wsy to LA. The room was clean and i can see why it had a 3.5 rating on Expedia. The checkin and checkout was quick and polite. The only thing undesirable about this lodging is the location.

You get what you pay for

It worked for the 1 night. Try not to put anything on the very old carpeting that can't have been cleaned in a long time. Had to rate clean factor low because of this, we can though otherwise it was clean. Could only connect one device to Wi-Fi. Staff very nice. This is likely family owned and run by people with limited resources to refurbish.

My boyfriend and needed a motel last minute for a work trip and this was the cheapest for the area we were going to be in. I called earlier in the day to ensure someone will be at the front late at night. Man was extremely friendly on the phone and when we arrived around 11p same day still nice enough to tell us how to work the thermostat. No bugs inside the room but gnats outside your door at night just watch for that. Didn't get to explore the area since we just need a place to crash for the night but we'll definitely be back!
