This is a legacy motel with comfortable rooms and a very affordable price. I stayed here once, and I liked it enough to come back. Each room has a heater and a clean bathroom with a very satisfying shower. AC Transit buses stop nearby, and they're easy to use. Front desk staff is friendly and accommodating. Parking on site without extra charge.
