The room itself was clean and well kept. The surrounding areas were on the sketchy side. This hotel is a decent budget option for an overnight stay.

Clean room with comfortable bed, fridge & good shower. Good free TV channels for sports & movies. Close to freeway but no traffic noise. Large mall with good restaurants, movies, etc 2 miles down road. Bsasic family owned, updated motel. Reasonably priced and staff was very friendly and accommodating. I’ve stayed twice and will return because location is close to hospitals.

Had to pay $20. for early check in, horrible customer service, the room I was assigned was not ready(unmade bed,dirty towel, they gave me another room. Fridge was not clean,the toilet broke had to be repaired. Homeless loitering and digging in dumpster, prostitutes in front of property loitering. I spent the nights looking out for my car. Still horrible customer service.

it clean, man who checked me in was really nice. it is a older property but seems well maintained but the room did have a old closet smell, nothing a few blasts of fabreeze could not clear up. it is a economy hotel so must put things in perspective.
