Check in staff was friendly but the room was dirty and in need of repairs. The floor was broken in several places, the toilet roll holder was broken, the mismatched furniture looked like it was pieced together from thrift shops. The bathroom was dirty with hairs in the tub and on the floor and I squashed at least 5 ants before I even used the toilet. For the same price, I switched to a different motel down the street that was clean and included breakfast.

The motel was in an area with a lot of other hotels, so that was nice. The staff was nice and it was an easy check in and out. The stay was just for sleep while my sister was in the hospital. It was nice to have a fridge and a microwave in the room, but felt like the air couldn’t keep the room cool, and it was loud. I had read that the mattresses were creaky from other reviews, but didn’t expect them to be as loud as they were! Anytime anyone would move or get out of bed, it would wake the other person up. Lots of banging noises outside our room one of the nights, like they were fixing something at 9pm. We didn’t use the pool. It was about 10-15minutes to the Stanford Medical center.
