Clean and well maintained with a modest but adequate buffet breakfast. Several good restaurants nearby. What more could a traveler ask of an overnight stop on a road trip?

All the staff that we interacted with were very nice, the place needs a good scrub down, fresh coat of paint, breakfast was ok, my husband has some mobility issues so the small bathroom was a little difficult for him, parking spaces were tight, it was nice to have an elevator since we were on the second floor

The interior looks like it’s been renovated fairly recently. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and quiet. Two things that would make our stay even better: 1) a second screening curtain or something to let light into the room but block the view in/out of the parking lot and the building next door and 2) better drinking water source than the sink (tastes a little funny/metallic and even a Brita in the little fridge in the lobby would probably help).

Ok Stay

The bed was comfortable with new linens. The overall stay was ok. There is nothing fancy about this hotel but the price is right. The free breakfast had very few offerings. The check in process was slow. There was no employee at the desk only a sign saying theyd be back soon. I waited approximately 5 minutes for them to show up which when you are waiting feels like a long time.

A good location to the freeway and food. The motel was older, and the rooms need some updating. The staff was very helpful and polite.
