Internet was good but no room coffee. A work truck left early about 4:30 AM. Manager is always nice. Heater is a bit confusing and outdated and could warm better.

Room was clean, check in and out was easy and property management was friendly. Very comfortable stay.
Check in was a great and smooth experience. The guy checking me in was really kind. And he told me everything I needed to know, how to reach him, WiFi password and details on the room and check out. There was also communication via text hours prior to check in. Everything was clean and put together in the room as well. The only issue I had a little bit was handling the lock on the door. I had a hard time locking it from the outside, so I locked from the inside and closed the door to lock it.

We needed a room for the night, one that was close to the 101. The room was affordable, clean, and the bed was comfortable. Ray was kind and helpful.

Unfortunately threre was a city festival & the driveway to the motel was closed off. Had to park very far away and carry luggage at check in and check out. Front desk did help with luggage for check in and helped me find parking
