Disliked: Amenities
The room given to us was wrongfully assigned to and used by different guests prior to our arrival time. It was used and not in order and the hotel manager told us they couldn’t do anything as the housekeepers were already gone for the day (whom we later saw on the hallway) and their rooms were fully booked for the day. We were even told that we could look for a different hotel to stay and they could give us a refund. Clearly, the manager didn’t care! [stayed on May 24]

Motel 6

Don't be fooled by the pictures like I was. This is not an elegant hotel. This is a dumpy little MOTEL by the side of the noisy freeway. It's old. I picked this property because there was a restaurant on site. The restaurant wasn't even open on the day that I was there. I don't think it's ever open. Maybe it's open on weekends, I don't know. It's a dumpy little place with an inside courtyard but don't be fooled by the pictures.

This hotel is decent overall. Parking is plentiful, there is a beautiful garden area to lounge in hammocks and swinging egg chairs, there is a pool and hot tub, they do serve breakfast, and your room does have 2 doors: 1 opening up to the parking lot side and 1 opening up the central garden area. What I was not so fond of was arriving back to the hotel and being locked out of my room. This was due to having to renew your room keys each day. Small inconvenience but still odd and not advertised. I also did not feel the safest as a solo traveler due to the amount of damage around my room's door. There are also chain, bolt locks inside each door that must be latched to lock the door completely. I also was hearing a few weird noises in the evenings, but that could be wind or something else. Staff was friendly overall and I did not try the breakfast. Overall it was fine, but I will not be returning.

Really quiet peaceful place to stay and very friendly staff. You do need to call to get ahold of someone for check in as there isn’t really a front desk, but it’s a pretty easy process to get the keys to your room once someone helps. Breakfast was delicious!
