This is one motel that seems to offer the best stay in the area.
Pros:

There were no disturbances, inconveniences, annoyances. There was free parking. There was minimal waiting. The temperature was whatever I wanted it to be. Everyone seemed to be minding their own business. The shower was just big enough. The freeway and heater / AC helped drowned out any problem noise.

Cons:

TV noise from the next room during waking hours only..

Great price!
Pros:

I loved the price and the easy check in. Quick and easy.

Cons:

The only thing I did not like is there were no decent stores close stores that didn't charge you almost $5 for a bottle of water. The grocery store was far and so was 7/11.

Short, No internet, and a bad attitude from the front desk lady. Im sorry but I forgot her name.
Pros:

no breakfast only coffee

Cons:

1. The parking lot has trash everywhere curbs etc.
2. The whole time I was there I had no internet
3. The lady that came on shift when I arrived, not a good attitude, when I told her about the internet several times, did not seem to care and really wasn't in a hurry to do something about it, and it did not work the whole time I was there, I needed to finish my work project and was not able to do so.
4. That lady should never be in a position to work a front desk needs to learn how to serve the people. with a good attitude. I was there from 3pm till 9:30 pm
thank you
