Traveling back home from Grandbaby visit! Clean and comfy..and reasonably priced, Thanks for that!
Pros:

Room was clean, beds were comfortable. We were pleased with the facility. We left early in the morning but still got coffee from the breakfast buffet.
Thanks for proving that the 'motels' of the world can be just as nice as the hotel chains! We trave to and from Florida and NY, and just need a place to sleep and shower. No frills but still very nice!

Cons:

Not a fault of the hotel, but the main road felt like the Vegas strip. Way too bright and too many hotel. We were tired and found it all confusing.

Cons:

There was some kind of critter in that room that I heard scratching at 3:00 am.
I turned the light on and it scurried away.
I think it was a small mouse.
I looked around and couldn’t find it so I left the light on and sat up in bed for the rest of night.
I told from desk when I checked out. They were not shocked and said they’d have maintenance look at it.
I will not stay there again.

HIghly recommend this clean, comfy property that is a super value.
Pros:

I had a very low opinion of this brand but after reading so many good reviews, I gave it a shot. WHAT AN AWESOME FIND! Super clean, newly renovated. White bedding, comfy mattress. Vinyl plank flooring. Owner was very proud of the renovations (deservedly so!). We often pass through Santee and now have made this our motel of choice and have recommended it to our friends. Also, it felt very safe which is super important. Best bang for your buck!

This would be a great hotel and service if the right people managed it properly, cleaning needs to be a priority and som
Pros:

Decor and location

Cons:

We checked in at 11pm at night, The young lady was really rude, did not explained anything and spoke to me through a door… I am also a woman who she made stand outside alone at night and made me fill in forms before giving me my keys. The room wasn’t cleaned well, the mirrors, floors and tv were dirty, bed was clean…. Decor was nice, it’s a shame the staff have let it down.

Hier niet boeken...er zijn betere opties in de buurt.
Pros:

Locatie was voor mijn activiteiten prima.

Cons:

Ontbijt was waardeloos , vanaf 6 uur beschikbaar maar om half7 was alles op en werd er niks meer bij gevuld...je kon alleen nog wafels maken en een slappe kop koffie krijgen.
De 2e ochtend ben ik maar naar het Wafflehouse gegaan.
Accomodatie is zwaar verouderd en heeft een dringende opknapbeurt nodig.
