Staff were friendly but the bathroom wasn’t clean and the shampoo and shower gel dispensers were empty. There were cobwebs in the bathroom. The air conditioning didn’t work until you moved the cord around. The desk lamp and reading lamp didn’t work. One didn’t have a bulb. There was work happening at night and a lot of comings and goings. Didn’t get a good nights sleep.
For over $200/night, I was very disappointed. The guy at the front desk was great, helpful, friendly, but that was the high point of my stay. I couldn’t get out of there soon enough. I found myself looking longingly at the Motel 6 down the street.

there was still a deposit needed when u get there for around 100 dollars plus and the place only had one ac fan and it barely made the room cold enough.
Very sketchy characters hanging out around the parking lot. Marijuana smokers, 30-pack of beer in the trash can, and cursing. Won't stay here again. Asked the front desk about restaurant recommendations, and she just rattled off 3 places adjacent to the parking lot, in order: "Japanese" restaurant (which was closed up and out of business, although just 50 yards from her office), "donut shop" (she literally recommended that for dinner, and Vic's "which is known for its prime rib" she said. Turns out Vic's is a dive bar (I was with my 15-y.o. daughter). Just general cluelessness all around. We didn't feel safe here and won't come again.
My family, two teenagers, and I checked in on a Wednesday night. The parking lot was completely full and the manager of the Inn had to move his car to make room for mine. I appreciate that. There were people right out side our room drinking and talking loudly. We were in a downstairs room and you could hear everything. When someone walked to the restroom, when they flushed the toilet, when they showered. There was a constant banging of the pipes all night long. It was a complete disappointment. I wanted to spend quality time with my kids in SB, but we couldn't get out of there fast enough. What a shame.

It was ok, wouldn’t stay again
It was ok, some weird stuff happened during our stay and you can hear everything the walls are super thin. The staff is nice but also was involved in the drama. Not all that pleasant of a stay.

You get what you paid. One of the lowest rate in town. 2nd floor is better, some 1st floor room had no window. Rooms are clean, but TV is not functional. If only stay for a night of rest and shower is okay place.
This was one of the most disgusting places I have ever stayed at. I wish I would have paid more to stay anywhere else because the room was in terrible condition and looked like it had not been cleaned or maintained in several months.
The shower head was broken so it was spraying water at of the pipe connected to the head and the temperature changed every 30 seconds hot or cold however it wanted to, and I'm talking move out the way, burn your skin type hot. There was spider webs and a couple of spiders on the
Check in very easy and staff very courteous and accommodating. Considered my 84 year old mother in law and asked if we prefer downstairs instead of upstairs

If you would like a cheap overnight stay, than this will work. Very basic.
The room i was in looks they cleaned the bathroom, the bed but there spider webs in the corners of the floors and ceilings, the ceiling light fixture diffuser was dusty and had dead bugs inside of it. The paint look like it needed another coat around the floor boards, but hey i guess thats why it was cheap..
