Good value and the facilities were fine. The only drawback was that we could hear other guests through the walls--- at 1:00 am and again at 3:00 am. It was a Monday night in February and there were very few guests, but for some reason they put us all in the same wing

My husband and I would definitely stay here again. The property was well-maintained, and has a great dog-friendly grass area. The free breakfast was better than expected. As far as inexpensive motels go, this is definitely top tier.

Easy and quick check-in with amenities explained. Clean room with slightly dated bathroom. Bar soap for sink and hanging refillable body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the bath/shower combo (smells like coco butter). External facing rooms, pool in separate building, main lobby and breakfast in first building. Enough parking but not ideal for semi trucks, motorhomes or moving trucks. Near fast food and sit down diner. Just off highway 101, east to access. Appears to possibly have vagrant population, typical of Humboldt County.
