Alvarado Vacations from $469

Basic motel--the building is older, but check-in staff told me to let them know if there were any issues (housekeeping or maintenance). No issues with my room--everything worked fine. Bed was comfortable, toilet flushed fine, TV worked. Full-size fridge in the room, plus a microwave. Room was quiet (I stayed on a Saturday night, late August), and other guests were polite. Hotel grounds felt safe (I checked in mid-afternoon, but then got back to hotel around 1am). My one complaint--for many hotels, not just this one--is that I wish housekeeping would tie their hair back or wear a hair-covering, as I get creeped finding long dark hairs on the floor (mine is short and grey). Otherwise I would definitely stay here again.

The property is very clean and bright, close to everything, good breakfast

Good

It's a cheap hotel, and you will experience that. Room was clean enough, but there are no bells or whistles and it just barely met our standards. Bathroom door lock didn't work. The pool area was kind of gross and there was way too much chlorine. Dead beetle in the hot tub. Breakfast was pretty standard, but on the poor side. They were out of coffee by 9:00 and took a long time to refill it. We needed a roll-away bed and they had a hard time understanding what we wanted, but they eventually found a bedroll mat and that worked for us. It's a place to sleep in a small town and we didn't feel unsafe, but it feels kind of run-down and hasn't had the attention it needs.

Clean rooms, wonderful staff and great breakfast!
