Very good

This motel was very nice. The front end staff was a little rude at first but everyone else was great. It was quiet had alot of charging ports and it was very clean. There was all sorts of good shopping around and it was easy to get to.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean and seemed to be somewhat updated, though not for comfort. All surfaces were pretty uncomfortable. The room did have a smell. Walls are very thin; we could hear neighbors singing and talking. Parking is limited and fairly compact. Check-in process was quick and smooth.
Perfect location an very clean. Would love to come back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
They were very friendly and overall the room was clean. The only issue I had was the towles did not look clean and they were rough and the pillows were very flat. I had to go buy pillows so I could sleep comfortably. I would stay again but I hope they get better towels and pillows.
DO NOT STAY HERE
-only gave us one key. When we asked for another, they said no, (these were plastic printed keycards).
-refused to give extra towels
-absurdly tiny TV and a horribly -outdated bathroom with a wobbly toilet that needed to be flushed 3-4 times
-The bathtub was stained and dirty with an old dirty rubber grip mat for laying on the bottom of the tub. -weird metal barrier around bottom of bed that made a loud clang every time you touched it.
-dirty tile floors made our feet black
-when my stepson performing at Cali Roots stopped by to take shower before gig, manager knocked on door three separate times over 30 minute time period. Falsely accused of staying there.
-when asked again for another set of towels the unhinged manager told us to ‘get the f*** out’
-we demanded a refund for the remaining night
- We returned to shower and pack up before check out.
-manager barged into room without knocking while my wife was naked getting out of the shower.
-after throwing him out of the room he demanded to do a room inspection.
-he became so irate and hostile he was yelling at the top of his lungs. All the guests came out of their rooms. Everyone was nervous and on edge.
-we almost called the police on him. Was worried he was going to turn violent or get a gun
-DO NOT STAY AT Discovery Inn. We left there traumatized by the whole experience. The people that run it are shady, rude, unprofessional and downright hostile.
I wish I could give zero stars
