Thick aroma of curry smacks you in the face as you enter the front lobby. We ended up with a room above that lobby and had to enjoy the sweet smell of curry for our evening. Other than that, it was fair for the cheapest price in town.

The front desk hung up on me twice lol. This is a place you stay if you want a quick cheap stay and aren’t planning on spending extended time at the inn itself. The place is incredibly run down and loud due to proximity to the airport and it’s just dingy. The shower consistently leaked. I would not stay here again.

Small room, which I’m ok with but not very clean, our bed had cigarette burns on the cover, the sink didn’t drain properly, the bathtub was very dirty and the shower water temp settings where backwards. Very small trash can available. Key card was not working right.

I chose this hotel for a weekend trip to visit the university, but I would not stay here again. The overall premises and our room were not clean at all. It was bad enough that I had to request a reclean from the receptionist, and I ended up buying my own sheets from a local store just to feel comfortable sleeping. The only saving grace was the staff—they were very kind and polite—but the hotel itself has a lot of work to do before it's truly guest-ready.

It was pretty clean and the beds were reasonably comfortable, but don’t expect ANY amenities. The pool is freezing, there is no coffee or toiletries (just one packet of two in one shampoo/conditioner). The towels are flimsy, small, and worn. No tissue. The outlet was dead so my phone didn’t charge. If this is all you can afford, I guess it does the job. I have stayed at Motet 6 locations that were better. We also had a bad experience at the Vagabond Inn in San Luis Obispo. We booked same day with a budget under $300, so our options were very limited.

The room was clean but there was no refrigerator or microwave like other places. The ac unit worked but was very noisy as if something was wrong with it. The curtains should be longer as the outside light shine into the room. The vent in the bathroom did not have a cover.

My ratings are based on a room assignment next to someone who had a crying dog. It was very annoying especially since the neighbor had their tv loud to mask the sound. My room had a light in the bathroom that was out. The best thing about the stay was a comfy bed and the price of room. It was a 1 night stay.

The room was good for just a night's stay. The fridge worked well and everything else did too. We just got some small bar soaps and some shampoo. I called the front desk once and the guy on the phone answered my question all rude.
