    They charged some 50 USD deposit, that was not obvious from the beginning... also, for some reson they reported to booking that my card does not work - that makes administrative complications. (while the simple reason is that there is two way - 3D - approval process for some European cards for security reason - as a protection to being charged without a reason ) 5 starts for my card provider. 0 stars for this motel

    This is a typical American motel, nothing special about it. I booked it as it was on the right location - area where I needed to be. The room was clean. Free parking. Internet worked.

    I stayed 4 days and there was no maid service. It wasn't a big deal for me, however others may find it problematic.

    The room was clean and well appointed. For the price, it was fine.

    Found a couple of baby roaches in the bathroom. Bed was too firm for my back and pillows were too soft for my neck. Main light by the TV did not work.

    Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Loved the price point for the room.

    It’s not worth $200 they had no hairdryer, soaps and barely any towels with two small pillows. The worse was the AC barely worked.

    Unfortunately lots of trash, dried dog poop all around. Homeless woman going through the dumpster which really set the vibe, also my keycard stopped working and locked me out twice.

    Staff at front desk was very friendly. Room was decently clean (excluding floors), didn’t smell like smoke which is a major plus.

    The room was clean. I was there for 1 night on business. Front office staff was wonderful! It was quiet, clean but the bed was not the most comfortable. There was no shampoo or conditioner, which I should have checked on. It was in a safe area, clean and staff was great. All in all, for the price it was great! I travel a lot and do so out of pocket. I would say that this was a great choice for the price. It was quiet and easy to find.

    Very thin walls and thick gap at the door frame. So you can hear the cars on the road as well as the people in the rooms next to and above you. Also, some of these people are very active at 3 am, arriving or leaving, talking or showering. The motel seems to be used by truckers and workers so don‘t expect too much quietness. Finally beware of the car entry. I got myself almost involved in accidents a couple of times as the entrance is directly located on the exit ramp of a freeway. If you either come from the freeway or even worse the boulevard you have to almost stop on the exit ramp to enter the parking lot. The following traffic does not expect that and is typically accelerating when coming from the freeway onto the boulevard so more than once they almost crashed into me as the entrance to the parking lot is also not easy to recognize as such until you know it is there. Finally, no small fridge or microwave in the hotel room.

    The staff was friendly at all times and helped with all issues. Enough parking space available. Food and groceries within walking distance.

    The water pressure in the shower was terrible.

    It was nice and quiet. We had to wait for the room to get cleaned but we were able to go and get something to eat first and the room was ready when we returned. The staff was helpful when checking in but checking out the desk clerk was a bit snotty.
