    The property shows swimming pool when I arrive there They told me that there was no pool. Also everything is outdated. The bedsheets had a lot of holes like cigarette burns and The bathroom was dirty no shampoo or soap to shower with and the towels were disgusting. Also the refrigerator was dirty. I was so disappointed, also the parking had a unpleasant smell

    A homeless motel. STAY AWAY!

    First the good: it is inexpensive, and the staff are extremely friendly. That's all. We had a reservation for 3 nights amd just left after the first one. The rooms are in terrible condition, and do not at all look like the pictures online. The sheets were covered in someone's hair. The furniture was all broken or missing parts. There's a new kitchenette with stove, but no pans. The shower head sprayed more water out the back than the actual spout so we couldn't bathe, which was the last straw. Save yourself the trouble and just stay anywhere else.

    It was run down, needed repairs, and the should be ashamed to charge the rates they did for that place. As I went to check in, there was some inspector there saying this was the 3rd they had a violation. The next time would be a fine. No idea what that was about but it could've been any number of things. They had a water issue and had the water off for 2 hours trying fix it.

    Hotel was almost the worst I’ve been In, manager tried to cover up issues and lie about details until I reminded him of what he himself personally said! Dishonest manager Nick!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    AC WORKS and Parking is adequate, Nick was friendly with CHECK IN.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Conveniently located just off the freeway, however you can hear the freeway at night. This is a good choice if you are on a budget. I would stay here again. The staff was very friendly and checkin/checkout was hassle free

    Avoid at all costs. Filthy property, filthy check-in area, absolutely filthy room. Mold and grime on the walls, ceiling panels falling out and cracked walls/tiles, floor laminate peeling and bubbling up all over, water damage all over. The AC unit's cord did not reach the socket, and when I used my own power cord it didn't work anyway. There was a half smoked cigarette between the mattress and box spring that already had unchanged sheets on them, in a non-smoking room. All of the furniture was in bad shape, only spotted one cockroach in my room and luckily no bed bugs but I witnessed enough other angry patrons storming back to their cells loaded with poison. There is a sign at the desk specifically absolving the staff of responsibility for lost valuables due to forced break ins, a car was left on rocks in the lot during my stay and I'm pretty sure I witnessed an almost violent domestic dispute. Staff was distant and clearly didn't care about anything, and I don't know what the housekeeping lady was doing... clearly not housekeeping, if my room was anything to go off of. Awful, trashy "hotel." I have never felt more unsafe and motivated to get out of somewhere in my life so far.

    The room was horrendous. Bed spread had holes,roaches,dirty walls, half ass repairs. When I asked for clean towels. The ones I received was stained. I've been there before but wasn't bad. The only thing decent was the bed.

    I never knew a room could ever be in such terrible conditions.. this was the nastiest room I’ve have ever booked. This place should be CLOSED. Guys please take my word when I say do not book here. Most unsanitary conditions I’ve ever seen. I felt so uncomfortable in this room I had to book a different hotel in the SAME hour & was told I would get a refund from NICK (the owner/manager) for how disgusting this place was. When it came time to refund me, NICK at the front desk denied my request. He did not honor it. He played games with me acting as if the issue was on the third party end of things. When in reality he just kept denying the refund. But Thank god I did booked through a third party and they were okay with taking the loss on my behalf & accommodating me. But if you book , you will want to leave this place as well & you will be scammed out of your money for not wanting to be in the living conditions that they have. You will thank me later.
