This is a VERY budget hotel with few amenities and lots of freeway noise. As long as you can accept that reality, this is an ok place to stay. The room was clean. There was no explanation of how to log into wi-fi (had to call to get password). There was a TV, small fridge and microwave (which I didn't use). The bathroom was small and cramped but also clean. There was no place to set down my bathroom supplies. Would not stay here again, but the circumstances forced it and I was able to get a tolerable night's sleep despite the freeway noise.

I wish that there were bedside lamps. No A/C, but the weather at night was not too hot, so we were comfortable. Reasonable price, so nice and convenient stay.

It’s clean and centrally located. Less than half the price of local hotels. Located just 100 feet from the 101 freeway, it’s slightly noisy. I would stay again.

Easy, affordable comfort

It was clean, well kept. Definitely lacking air conditioning but offered fans in lieu of a/c. Friendly and helpful. Easy to access off the highway. Definitely good if all you need is a spot to lay your head and get ready.

It was a very nice stay. The beds and pillows were really nice and comfortable. It's older, but it has it's charm. It's right next to the freeway and you can hear the cars, but otherwise it was very quiet and peaceful. The only thing I wish it had was bedside lamps. Otherwise our room was had two rooms, one for each bed and I really liked that. The managers were very nice and helpful as well.

Old place, quaint, but really run-down. There is construction right in front, making it quite dusty and noisy during the day. Price is on point, it is CHEAP, but don’t expect any amenities. There is not an ice machine. Next door to Strawberry Village, a nice shopping destination with a latprge Starbucks. And, In and Out is steps away!

Small and quaint. Clean. It is in the frontage road, so you do hear some traffic, but in the room it wasnt bad. There isnt an air conditioner, however, the room faced South, so it was a comfortable temperature

The walls in the bathroom were filthy all the way around. The light switches in the bathroom were also filthy. The shutters in the bedroom had goop on them. There is no place to hang any shirt or trousers, and there was no coffee. There was one small plastic drinking cup individually wrapped in a package that had already been opened. The staff was very kind and try to be as accommodating as possible.
