Nice, clean accommodations

Nice, clean accommodations. Spartan, no luxury, but very comfortable and everything you need. Great price point. Pleasant staff. Minimal breakfast selections ... muffins, cereal, and the all-important coffee. Liked the aroma of their "Zero" personal care products. Location handy to restaurants, gas stations, Dutch Bros, freeway.

This area is not a good area but the motel was nice clean I didn't make it to breakfast I was told it was over at 10:00 and it was over sooner than it was so I didn't get to make it. Hard to find a parking space very cluttered in the area. I wish they had microwaves in the room and coffee machines. I also wish they had a Jacuzzi and a pool!
