Disappointed

Disliked: There was no shampoo in the shower and the walls were paper thin. The picture on the website was misleading. Reminded me of a Motel 6.

Exceptional

Liked: Booked very last minute and had the fastest and easiest check in. The room was very spacious and clean.

Quiet, clean and comfortable. A...

Liked: This is a comfortable room in a clean well managed facility. The location is incredibly convenient, close to the freeway shopping and amenities. I paid $99 for a king size bed in a room with a microwave refrigerator and large comfortable bathroom. This is an old motel that’s been upgraded.Unlike other hotels of similar vintage, I found the rooms to be very clean, quiet, and, comfortable providing an overall pleasant experience for a bargain hotel.
Disliked: For the price, it would be wildly unrealistic to expect much more. It would be great if there was a breakfast room with a free breakfast, but I can’t see them being able to make a profit if they had to shoulder that additional expense since they are pretty much the lowest priced 8+ rated hotel around from what I can see by the other reviews. All rooms are no smoking and no pets.

Poor

Cute retro/futuristic feel

Liked: The place was obviously upgraded, the rooms were super cute, and even the front desk was aesthetically appealing!
Disliked: The only issue was the parking was a little small and part of the hotel policy stated that if there were no more spots available that you’d need to get a street parking permit. Luckily I didn’t have to do that but I was concerned about it. Also the WiFi didn’t always work but that’s honestly it.
