Only thing I can critique is- the tool fridge didn’t have any water bottles, where as other motel/hotels in the area provide 2/3 water bottles free of charge. Other then that stay & room was enjoyable/clean :)

Had a good stay. Room very clean. However we didn't have any drinking water at the room. We were also expecting the pool to be open longer in the extreme heat. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and pool for sure....will definitely return

Great place room was very clean with new bathroom and a very comfortable bed. It was very quiet which was great especially with the main highway not far away. Will come again.

Clean tidy room. The corner arrangement of the rooms makes parking a problem as the lines are not clearly marked. Loud late night noise levels from other guest were a problem and management did nothing.

Looks can be deceiving - from the street one would not think that the quality of room behind the walls would be as good as it is ! Clean, comfortable and oh so quiet !

We were going to costco so this motor inn was very close, it started out as being convenient but was a very good place to stay, king bed was very comfortable and room was good quality. Recommended for sure

8/10 Very good

Our stay here was great. It was quiet, the room had been renovated, and for a busy location it was quite easy to get to. The only downside was the pillows were terrible and the parts of the room that hadnt been renovated were quite old and dirty. The really just need a deep clean. Mostly just the walls and doors so it was a little offputting, (and the door handle felt like it could almost fall off) but the everything else was fantastic. We stayed when at least half the rooms were full and again for the most part for the 2 nights we stayed, it was pretty quiet and we'd definitely stay again. Highly recommend and good value for money.
