Owner of this motel is just pure heart at best. Super kind and willing to make your trip best way possible. However, I was stunned the way room was oriented. The highway noise was so loud waking you up randomly middle of the night. And condition of the bed was just unbelievably conditioned. It squeaked every time I moved and the mattress sacked in the middle so my back did not get any comfort level whatsoever. In addition, the sheet and blanket seemed like it’s has not been properly washed and dried making my skin itchy and rash. I hope the owner takes this as constructive criticism because I cannot come back here again. M

I did not have high expectations, but even my low expectations were not met. There were ants on the bathroom floor. Shower was not clean; there were residue and mildew on the walls of the shower. Even the dark color choice of shower could not hide it. The upper bed had clearly dirty sheets. After that we could not trust the cleanliness of the bed we slept on and we slept in our sleeping bags. We had 2 nights of reservation, but we left after the first. It might be better to drive to Fresno rather than staying here for its convenience.

Checked in late Saturday night, went to the restaurant first. Food in the restaurant was good but service was extremely poor & slow. I had to ask multiple times to ask to order and once ordered had to ask multiple times for a drink I ordered. Now to the room, this is bare bones room which is very small, incredibly outdated. It has never been remodeled, the walls are paper thin so you hear the outside street cars that pass and if you get bad neighbors next to you. You will hear every word of there conversation. The bed is rock hard, and the sheets are dark which should be a warning sign. The bathroom towels they provide are black and very small hardly adequate for a shower. The bathroom itself is very small and uncomfortable. There is very few plugs provided in the room so it’s very difficult to find a way to plug your electronics. In this day and age this is pretty brutal even for a no frills hotel. The experience overall was unacceptable the people next to us were up till midnight talking and smoking just outside our door. They also smoked up a joint so the smell and the sound was overwhelming. The next morning after getting very poor sleep. Absolutely no electricity or running water. There was nobody on site in the place to find out what to do or any kind of solution, I filed a claim with hotels.com and credit card company for a refund. We refused to stay another night since this was a two night stay. I texted the owner never received a response.

Great location. Accommodation was compact and Biju just exactly what we booked. The communal facilities worked well. Staff were very accommodating and made us feel welcome. We stayed in one of the small cabins, given the choice again I’d probably book into one of the motel rooms but more just for the experience than anything else as the motel accommodation is steep and rich history. absolutely great offering and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
