This "motel" is filled with homeless and is not in a very good part of town. Several occupants appeared to be living out of the motel. The walls are so thin you might as well be in your neighbors room. The furniture and decor of the motel needs a refresh. The employee were very nice. I guess it's a get what you pay for type of place. Lasted one night and changed hotels.

Needed a hotel for few hours to nap before we take our early morning flight, so booked this hotel for the proximity of the airport. Such dated property, Doors jammed, have to use force and push with shoulders to open and close. Paper thin walls, zero privacy. We stayed in room #249. room 248 was so loud watching TV till 3 am and all sorts of private sounds keeping us up all night. Found a bug on the bed sheet. The blankets and bedding looked too old and used..

For a budget hotel this was actually pretty clean and impressive regarding the location especially since there’s a sprouts grocery store right across the street an awesome kebab place right across the street sushi bookstore dollar store CVS and In-N-Out a car wash pretty much anything and everything you would need. It’s a high traffic area and you’ll have to do a lot of U-turns if you drive but all in all it was budget friendly for what we needed. The breakfast was basically just waffles and cereal and some apple juice. The pool is nothing to write home about and you had a nice view of a dilapidated Caribbean restaurant that looks like it’s been through a hurricane, which could be a museum element. The beds were comfortable and clean the shower worked, and despite a little bit of a tricky check-in, the staff were on top of things.
