Easy to check in and comfortable enough rooms. The breakfast buffet was a big plus for our stay. Not much walkability from the hotel but thats not a complaint on my end. There is a pool and the place was clean and pleasant

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! We received such a warm welcome from the front desk attendant, Monica, who truly made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed breakfast both mornings, which was a great start to our days, and the on-site charging station was a huge plus for our rental car. The location was perfect, and Monica went above and beyond by recommending some fantastic restaurants and shopping spots nearby. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for such a pleasant visit!

I stayed here one night. It was… interesting. Definitely a budget stay, and that’s the main selling point. Don't expect more than a budget experience. The room was spacious and okay for the price. Bed and sheets were clean, but the headboard hadn’t been wiped down in a while and had visible stains. The bed creaked loudly when sitting or moving, and by morning one of the supports gave out, leaving the mattress sagging on one side. TV had Comcast with lots of channels, though a few cut out or had poor quality. Bathroom was clean. Towels were clean but stained. The shower was disappointing: water never really got hot. At best it was lukewarm, almost room temperature. I read another review saying it takes 30 minutes to heat up, and that seems true. It was just barely warm enough to shower. If hot water is important to you, be prepared to let it run a long time. Internet worked well, and there were convenient outlets by the bed and desk. The first thing I noticed entering the room was a strong smell of Fabuloso cleaner. It never went away even after airing the room out. Also, the door weather-stripping didn’t block much smoke smell from outside, which drifted in when people were smoking nearby. Noise depends on where your room is — some areas are quiet, others near the pool or main activity can get noisier during the day. The Jacuzzi was broken during my stay. Looks like it was broken for a while. Breakfast was decent for the price: eggs, sausage(questionable), waffles, toast, fruit, yogurt, coffee, and juice. Counters were being cleaned often, but the food utensils were messy and didn’t seem refreshed. About 24 hours later I came down with stomach issues — not sure if it was from the breakfast or something else, but worth noting. Overall: okay for a cheap stay. Spacious room, working Wi-Fi, and breakfast included, but expect budget-level comfort, lukewarm showers, and some upkeep issues. I didn't notice any bugs. I'd hesitantly stay here again. It's okay for a budget hotel in the price range. There can be improvements. The cleaner smell in the room that wouldn't go away was the worst part of the stay.

This motel has also had the rooms redone. Everything’s fairly clean. The staff is very nice! And helpful. There is pretty good breakfast. The towels are great! They have a lot of channels to watch! Lol! The other side is clean. Overall I would recommend this motel.

I love this place. They even have a small concession stand / bodega for snacks. A bit pricey, but for the convenience, it's not bad. The rooms are clean, well kept, the staff is friendly and handle any needs/requests that you have quickly. They are pet friendly, and are great if you're on a budget.

First of i paid only $87 for same night booking. The hotel room matched the photos, parking was tight and had to park 200 feet from my room but for the price you cant beat this place. Its a nice, clean motel. Not a hotel but honestly this was better than some basic Hilton or Marriotts and for the price this is a very good deal!
