A quick stay.
This is an older property and lacking in basic creature comforts such a bedside lamp. Nights stands old and scratched up. One of the queen side bend offering narrow path to the bathroon.

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.

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

Great location for what we needed. Nothing fancy, but worked out well. No A/C in the room, to keep it cool, we needed to leave windows open, but then we'd hear traffic. Other than that, it was perfect for a place to stay for the night.

Bad service
In the reservation I did not realize the number of people but when I made the reservation I asked for a room with 2 beds, we were going as a family, the person who attended us asked for the numbers of the members and we told him the amount and he gave us the key and everything We were there for two days and the last night we only got to sleep because we weren't there but the lady came angry 😡 and said that we had to pay for each one and my wife explained to her that she agreed to give us the room and she made fun and said that she would talk to her police wing and charged an extra charge. I don't recommend this place 🙅♀️I give it a 0 Estella
