Thr room itself was great. It was clean and spacious. The areas surrounding the hotel were horribly noisy. I had a construction site right next to my window. Motel itself was very quiet.
It was nice quiet peaceful. I work all day with no noise at night able to get good sleep. I’ll leave early in the morning. I would recommend anybody in my field that works all day like me. It’s a good place to stay plenty convenience stores mall.
The staff was very polite. Unfortunately the room we got had a kitchenette and the drawers had old debris, like a dirty cutting board and moldy garlic from past guests.
First of all the moment you walk in the room it smells, like if they mop with dirty water, my son got a bug bite and at night it’s pretty loud we had two rooms right next to us getting it on multiple times that we could hear everything till 2am

There were loud noisy stomping neighbors but they don’t ever get issue from me they just feel they can say who can have company and who can’t which isn’t fair
Cute and cozy and convenient. Would have liked to be able to use bath but spout was capped. It was very clean and check in and out were easy. It was in a good location as well.

Clean room very friendly workers but a couple things needed attention like the bottles for shampoo and soap dispenser, need to bring your own but overall nice experience
Great stay! Affordable, central to everything. My only complaint was the people staying in the room beside us, very loud and seemed to be fighting physically most of the night. Service is great! Friendly staff and housekeeping.

Conveniently located stay close to CSUMB where our kid currently attends school. The accommodations in this area are extremely expensive for folks just trying to come and visit their kids. We like to bring our dog with us on these trips, so dog-friendly was a plus. Liquor store being right next to hotel was great for late night snacks & water/beer.
Mold in shower, hairs left from last folks who stayed. Shower & bed squeaked very loudly with any movement of the bed/temp adjustment knob.
The side tables are barely held up by anything and are barely weight bearing. Shoddy construction all throughout the room. $30/night extra for a dog was fine for me until I saw the condition of the room… then I didn’t feel like that was a fair price to charge per night.
Bed was painfully hard and had a weird metal support that stuck out from under the mattress so that I hit my leg getting out of bed. Bathtub has been oddly disabled for use. Strange pipes sticking out from wall.
The decor was charming. Room was quiet. Staff was efficient.
