Comforting stay

The owner of the hotel is a very nice person. Checks up on you to see if you need anything. I stayed here for a week due to work. Best price in town. Thank you.

Yuk! YUK!

Entire room was about the size of a walk in closet and was disgusting, no drain cover in shower floor, towels that should be white were stained and brownish gray in color, not to mention the towels looked and felt like 30 year old sandpaper, had no microwave(had to ask for one), staff/owners were rude, unapologetic, not helpful and argumentative(need customer/hospitality training), the rooms are not disability friendly.

Clean room, great price!

Office staff was very friendly. Room was clean and price was cheap! The neighborhood was a little sketchy and the frontage road was very noisy along with the train close by. But overall, if you need a quick, NOT luxurious, clean and cheap room, this place is for you!

The outside looks a little in need but not horrible. The room was sufficient for 1 person but small. The only big complaint was the bed was very woobly and noisy even just shifting in bed. Was pleasantly pleased with how clean it was and no smells.

We stayed there for 2 nights and had no problem finding the motel or parking the car. The rooms were much bigger than shown in the pictures with more beds and additional rooms, and the staff was friendly. We booked 2 rooms and both were quite out fashioned with very little furniture other than the bed. Additionally especially the bathroom was very dirty with

The shade on the window didn’t close fully, leaving you to sleep in plain view. The internet was also broken, which was the only reason I booked it.

So the people who own it are super nice. However if you book online you are still expected to pay a CASH deposit that i felt bad not having but he said its ok if i brought it later (honestly i still havent cause i know im good about jeeping stuff clean) but was kinda inconvenient that i cant do that with a card. The location is kind of shady and the rooms are key locked door and when i checked the windows in my room they ar3 super old wood fram windows and were UNLOCKED so if you stay there make sure toncheck your locks and windows cause you may firget to lock them. Best thing is they are super close to alot of resteraunts. But the beds are memory foam mattresses. So be mindful of that. For a cheap overnight motel this place definitley works. AC works. Decent size shower. Fridge and small freezer. Cable, and wifi. Curtains are somewhat see through. But i was so far to the back i didnt see am issue there.

It was a basic square room. No decorations. Nothing to make you feel cozy. The rep wanted cash for the deposit, which seemed weird. I didnt have cash so he just gave me the key, yes an actual key not a card. The bed was kind of worn but not too bad to sleep on. Would not go back.

Smelled of kitty urine. Like a big litter box.

Its an old run down motel. Was picking up son from UCSC and we needed sleep before the long drive back. Should have just drove steaight back to LA. Our room smelled like cat urine masked with deodorizer. There was no masking the smell. Could barely sleep. Wound up being more tired than the day before. Next time will pay the extra money for a newer, cleaner hotel with amenities. Also that is cleaner!!
