We had 2 rooms. The ground floor room with 3 beds was huge! The lighting wasn’t great but apart from that, it was perfect. The first floor room with a king bed was large and comfortable. Motel is handy with great breakfast options all around. Would recommend.

It was OK for the price, nothing special. Dennys next door, convenient to the freeway, fast food and grocery store. We were there one night. Bed was comfortable, pillows lumpy and need replacing, glad I brought one. It's a motel with rooms facing the parking lot. Felt safe.

Good value and great location. The only complaint I have is that the floors are not totally clean and when you walk around in bare feet they get dirty. But bathroom is clean and room overall is clean. Just the floors need more.
