“This older motel has a certain charm, with comfortable beds and a layout featuring separate rooms for each bed; the staff seems genuinely kind and helpful, which is a plus. However, be aware that some rooms show wear and tear, and you might hear traffic noise due to its proximity to the freeway. Despite its shortcomings, for those seeking a budget-friendly option with character, it might just fit the bill.”
