Categories

Cleanliness
5
Multiple reviews note bad smells (smoking and musty), visible mold, hairs in tub, sticky residue in fridge handle and generally 'filthy' showers — cleanliness is a clear weakness.
Service
8.8
Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and professional in several reviews, though one report mentions confusion over a reservation; overall service is a relative strength.
Location
8.2
Location is convenient (close to freeway, near Chasers bar, free parking) which guests appreciate, but some mention significant freeway/truck noise that detracts from the location's value.
Room Quality
5.5
Rooms are described as outdated and in need of repairs (broken/poorly fixed tile, sticky doors, dingy bedding, AC issues), with several reports of musty smell and mold — room condition is below average.
Amenities
8.5
Amenities noted positively include substantial breakfast offerings, free parking and pet-friendliness, good TV size and walking areas for dogs; some minor gaps (limited pastry/yogurt options).
Value for Money
8
Multiple guests call it affordable or a great price for a lower-end motel; one guest felt it was overpriced given the building condition — on balance it represents good budget value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast is often praised (biscuits & gravy, eggs, sausage, good coffee) and cited as a highlight; only occasional complaints about limited pastry choices or missing yogurt.
Overall Experience
8.6
Guest experiences are mixed but lean positive overall: several repeat/very satisfied guests and praise for breakfast and staff counterbalance multiple strong complaints about cleanliness and building condition.

Did not stay, canceled and left.
Pros:

After viewing the property we decided to cancel. This motel is an old fashioned hotel with access to room from the parking lot. We asked for an accessible room and after viewing the room it was not up to par. and quite frankly did not like the idea that there were two entrys in this room. One for the maintenence staff and located at the side and the front. Not my cup of tea.

Cons:

All of it. Just an old type motel and staff seemed pleasant but totally confused about the reservation. We opted out.
