Great and comfortable stay. Very clean rooms and affordable rooms thank you.
Stayed on Christmas, very nice room, good bed. Everything was clean smelled nice not to full of car. Will be back, don't know how much it was for 2 days because it was a Christmas gift from stepdaughter, for my husband and me
When checking in, the lady who was checking us in wasn’t speaking loud enough to hear what she was saying and doesn’t greet you with a smile. In the morning when I checked out, the guy who was there was smiling and asking if every thing was good. Other then that the bedsheets and pillows have small stains on it and the bed had dirt crumbs
He greet us very welcoming and his deposits are very reasonable wich I loved not like some in Bakersfield or others around California that they ask for $100 to $250 in card and in a few places they accept in cash. I have bad experiences that they will turned them late or not even returned them at all! That's an awful rule. I mean I would love to return to a nice stay and feel loved and secure and gained another customer right!? Im gald I booked here with this lovely man. Thanks for your welcoming!
Staff was great bathroom was nice in our room. We did bring our own towels and a blanket that's the only thing I'd suggest. Other than that great spot.
My room looked exactly like the pictures! it was so neat and very clean, no weird smells. The staff were extremely friendly, they made me and my husband feel so welcomed. Thank You for your hospitality!
Quiet, neat and clean. This is what I need when staying at a hotel or a motel and this place has it. I've been staying here every couple of weeks for the past 1.5 + years and will keep on coming back here. Friendly staff, and the housekeeping service is well managed, this is why I tip my housekeeper at almost every checkout (unless I leave very early morning before she starts her shift). I have nothing negative to say about this business and the nice people working here. I will be staying there again next week. Cheers
I stayed here quite a number of times of the past seven years and I’ve always had a good experience with the staff and the rooms are very clean and the location is great. The only thing that I would recommend to this place is to upgrade their pillows they are far too flat, but other than that the room was great.
