Acceptable for price
Place is clean but has an overwhelming scent of cleaning detergent that gave me a headache. The room was large but super dated. It was okay for us since we were in town for a wrestling tournament and only needed a place to sleep and shower.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a dated facility, readily communicated as one drives into the lot, with furnishings and equipment to match. It was clean enough, however the overall impression was a bit tawdry due to age. There was amateurish calking in the bathroom, although effective, it was shabby in appearance. Recently painted, the bathroom doorknob was heavily masked with tape that no one bothered to remove. The 'ice machine' consisted of a small chest freezer with bagged ice poured into a plastic tray, dispensed with a scoop. The floors are wood laminate and clean. The bed frame (ours was a king) made a thunderous, booming sound every time it was nudged. I leave it to your imagination. There were few guests on a Friday evening, and it's doubtful that its survival will be long. I'm sure the male desk clerk wears many hats. I don't know that he's the handyman, however it wouldn't surprise me if he was. It's a safe, cheap place to stay - just don't expect many amenities. Nearby El Camino Restaurant up California St. is good if you like Mexican, however it serves other food as well. Good service and friendly servers.

Had to travel with family for a school activity and found the hotel basic and comfortable, no frills or luxuries but had everything necessary. Although the exteriors look old and outdated, the interiors have been upgraded and are nice, the staff is kind and helpful.

I will stay somewhere else next time
I read the reviews and they seemed better than Super 8 but I wish I would have spent a few bucks more and stayed at a nicer place. You defiantly get what you pay for with this one. The room had a bit of an odor and the property was run down. The security lock was broken on my door and the shower was in bad condition. There was a really bright light just outside my room that the curtains did not completely block out and the sheets were itchy. Wifi also cut out from time to time.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I checked into this hotel after driving 14 hours and was looking forward to a nice hot shower. The "hot" water ran cold for over 30 minutes and finally ended up being lukewarm, certainly not over 75 or 80 degrees. So no hot shower after a long day. When I have long days on the road, all I really want are a hot shower, clean sheets, and a comfortable bed. No shower ruins my stay.

My only notes being that the restaurant has clearly been closed for some time and the pet fee is 15, not 10 dollars. My room was equal to that you would find in a reasonable chain hotel where you would probably pay more. Nice people, good stay, will come back for a stay when i hiking in the area again.
