The room is clean, no smell, wifi is fast, but the building is right next to the street, vehicles pass by constantly day and night, couldn’t sleep well at night, that’s the only downside otherwise is a good place.

The room looked very old and used, not clean either. It would get so cold at night and I wanted to turn on the heater but it was so obnoxiously loud. First night I had to exterminate a huge spider in the bathroom. I am not rating my stay a one star review because I believe in improvement

The woman at the desk was nice but the room was so gross. Both armchairs were filthy. The mattress covers had huge blood stains on them. Just so so gross.

Room was OK, this lodge is right off the 101 freeway and easy to find. This is a motel/motor lodge, park right outside the room, so easy parking and easy unload. Our room 121 was in the back by the dumpster, so not a scenic view. But we were tired from a long drive and just stayed in the room, so not a problem. Thought I read somewhere that there was a Continental breakfast included, but the manager said no. Good value overall: beds, bathroom, TV, fridge, microwave and wifi were fine.

Parking was around the back, open air, but worry free. Older building but kept up pretty well. Right off US 101 freeway, so easy access. Need car to get to most nearby food and shopping.

Clean room. Site oddly shaoed, requiring sideway parking spots. I was in a room upstairs where stairs were not close to my room. No soap and difficult to find electrixal outlrt for computer at desk. That sounds like a lot of stuff, but they're all minor. The hotel was fine and the staff nice.
