Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews report live cockroaches and presence of dogs in adjacent rooms; cleanliness is a major negative.
Service
8
Mixed signals: one review praises 'super staff' while others report unresponsive staff, unanswered phones and a poorly staffed front desk; overall service sentiment is mixed-to-positive after accounting for the cited good staff interactions.
Location
9
Location was described as convenient for a cross-country trip and close to a restaurant; clearly a positive point.
Room Quality
4
Several room issues: broken door locks/keys, a sink located outside the bathroom, difficulty turning water on, and TV/connectivity problems; room quality is below average.
Amenities
5
Amenities are inconsistent: no breakfast offered at the property and one TV would not connect to the internet; some basic amenities are lacking.
Value for Money
9.5
One reviewer explicitly called it the 'BEST value in the area' and another noted convenience for travel; perceived value is strong despite other issues.
Food and Beverage
6
Breakfast was not offered at this location but a nearby restaurant was available; neutral-to-slightly-positive given alternatives.
Overall Experience
3.7
Overall sentiment is negative (several reviewers said they would not return or recommend), with serious issues like roaches, broken locks and poor responsiveness outweighing positives.

I would never go back and would urge others to avoid.
Pros:

The location was convenient for my cross country trip.

Cons:

There was a live roach next to sink. There were no towels when I entered room. The door lock was broken. The hotel staff does not answer its phone (even when Wyndham called on my behalf). When I told the owner about this issue, she did not reply either a credible response.

We would not recommend this facility
Pros:

Breakfast was not offered at this location but there was a restaurant close.

Cons:

One of the 2 tvs would not hook up to the internet! The bathroom sink was outside of the bathroom between the 2 rooms. It was very difficult to turn the water on to wash your hands. I don’t think a female could do it! The door key did not work properly. Had to call the front desk to unlock the door with a key! There was 2 dogs in the room next to us and another dog to the right of us. There was no notice in the lobby about a dog friendly motel, The front check in desk was poorly staffed! Our printout of the bill had several errors!

Needs better housekeepers that can mop or use a deodorizer.
Pros:

The location was right off the freeway.

Cons:

The room smelled awful!. IT was nauseated. We tolerated it till about 7am and then had to leave. We arrived about 1030pm. We were desparate so we stayed. I know we have pets but as a pet owner our house does not smell so I would think a hotel should not smell either. The bed was super hard. Like a board was there.

Screwed Over and Charged Twice
Pros:

Nothing, treated like crap.

Cons:

I was charged twice. Once by the motel and once by booking.com. So I was charged twice and neither place has refunded my money. No one seems to care. I just get the run around since June 17, 2025. It is now August 5, 2025. I am pissed.
