First stay here and i liked the motel. It would have been flooded a little while ago and it has been updated and renovated. Outside entrance was a little coffee van.

Unique little refurbished motel with a twist! Lovely short stay here. Only thing was we arrived after hours on Friday, left on Saturday and there was no ironing board in the room - and no reception staff to ask for one. Other than that, it was great!

Beautiful & well kept room in an average location
Room was lovely. This is a well kept motel in a strip of motels with not much else around. I can not fault the motel, the room was great, but the photos are definitely strategic to not show/emphasize the fact it’s a motel in an average area. One there I thought I would not have paid what I paid to stay here had I understood the area.

Newly renovated rooms & very clean!
Great renovation , cool California vibe decor , very clean standard motel size rooms, comfy bed & pillows fresh as new. Friendly staff, easy covered parking, located on a busy road so the traffic noise may not be ideal for light sleepers byo earplugs. 8/10.
