"This motel was a waste of money. The room was filthy and unkempt. The TV remote control didn't work. There was a hole in the bathroom door, and the towel bar was falling off the wall. There was mold on the shower curtain. I'd never stay here again, and don't recommend it.2015-08-06"

"The motel room was extremely clean, and the bed was comfortable. Great towels. Breakfast was tasty, and the coffee was perfect.2016-06-14"
"Excellent value. The motel had been fully renovated, including my room, and it was a job well done. The continental breakfast was a little underwhelming and didn't have eggs or meat.2016-04-29"
"The motel was supposedly smoke-free, but my room reeked of cigarettes. I could hardly sleep. The front desk clerk said no other rooms were available. Breakfast wasn't ready on time and was meager. The "juice" was flavored water, and there was nothing to eat but cold cereal. Awful place; don't stay here.2016-04-06"
"The motel had been recently remodeled. It was clean and had new furniture and fresh paint. The staff was friendly.2015-09-29"

"Located in a busy area by a freeway ramp, with a Target and other stores across the street. The hotel was older, but it was clean and well-kept. The room was fairly nice. There was a good family restaurant and Burger King across the parking lot.2018-07-22"
"Close to restaurants and stores, and the rates were reasonable. The hotel was clean. The room was spacious and fresh and had newer paint and curtains and a comfortable bed and linens; I had a restful sleep. Nice TV. Breakfast was good and had variety. Normally only service dogs are permitted, but because of the wildfire, our dogs were allowed to stay with us. I'd stay here again.2017-12-12"
