The manager was very nice and helpful in finding a place to eat. I didn't feel safe with the neighbors and people in the area. I would stay here for one night but not safe, with my kids.

I stay here quite frequently and in all honesty as a single man with no family looking for a place that’s quiet , convenient and comfortable. This isn’t a bad option. Right off the freeway and even then you don’t really hear a lot . I wish they added hair dryers in all rooms but that’s about it. I really do enjoy my stays here.

We were put in a room next to one they were apparently renovating. Was woken up by hammers pounding in the wall at 7am. I called the front desk and she assured me that construction doesn’t start until 9am. It finally stopped after 20 minutes. When I was checking out I said they were definitely doing construction in the room next to ours. She said I know I asked them to keep it down. Not even sorry let alone compensation for that kind of wake up. Will not go back.

The motel was old. It was clean, bedding was comfortable. Had all the room essentials, fridge, microwave, iron & ironing board. It wasn't the best place I have stayed but the price & location was great.

When I arrived at the property, I was a bit disappointed, it looked nothing like the pictures, I was expecting a clean nice hotel, it looked almost abandoned. The central and pool area was supposed to be some grass or vegetation but was just loose dirt and some patches of dead grass (if grass is hard to keep make it gravel and desert plants, or plant a couple of shade trees and pavers with a sitting area, it would be easier to keep clean and will be inviting for guests) The pool didn't seem to be properly maintained, the skimmer was not removing dead bugs and leaves from the surface (maybe the filters were not maintained as the skimmers were not seem to be moving water properly) The room was nice and clean, plenty of towels and what seem to be clean sheets and nice bed, wifi working properly, the door security latch was broken (room 146) I missed a coffee maker, I saw there was coffee in the lobby, but that meant that for me to get coffee and ice I had to go out and around the parking lot next to the freeway to the lobby and I was not sure if it will be open in the middle of the night, due to being next to the freeway ramp it was a bit noisy, but that is not to the fault of the hotel other than location. What saved the place was the stuff, they were awesome!! At check in and breakfast which was nice; due to the hotel appearance I was expecting a bit less. The staff was quick to restock and made sure nothing was missing during breakfast. Nice room and decent breakfast.

The worst was not be able to watch tv because its necesary the technician and to ask for him in his work time. I like to Watch the News or a movie before to sleep. The only good thing is that is cheap the room . But it is necessary the depósit of 100 dollars. For that seems to me it is necessary to report to the office if something you find irregular when you enter in your room.

La persona de housekeeper nos abrió la puerta el primer día que nos quedamos, ella entró hasta casi la cama de nosotros, solo dijo que lo sentía y que si hasta cuando nos quedábamos, cuando teníamos las 2 noches pagadas desde que hicimos el check in, a los 30 minutos llegó otra persona a tocar la puerta casi tumbándola porque tampoco sabia que nos quedábamos mas tiempo, fue una falta de respeto y privacidad enorme, no tienen comunicación entre los empleados.
