Affordable and located near desirable areas. Motel was located near busy and noisy freeway. Expect to hear cars and trucks passing by 24/. My room was small and smell really stuffy. Had to run the AC to get rid of the smell. Nothing special about this place. You get what you pay for.

The staff was excellent, very warm, welcoming and helpful. The room was average at best and expensive. The bed was uncomfortable and only two very small pillows on the bed. The shower was not great either and the shampoo was for whatever reason really hard to open.
