We stay often at this inn. Great prices and near by food and mini marts. Make reservations as soon as you know you will be needing a place to stay, it fills up quickly.

Stayed here many times. The noise level from I-5 is high, but it is high at the other hotels here as well. Breakfast is limited. Staff is friendly. Ok for a quick overnight stop.

for a night for 40 dollars, not bad.
From 2 am they offer early coffee and cereal for free.
so the option for a long road to stop for the night and go on, good.

Cheap hotel for a night's rest
This hotel is perfect for an inexpensive stop to sleep. No frills, just beds and a bathroom. It has always been clean, though there is sometimes damage to a wall or door frame that needs to be done.

I arrived very late, but I was greeted and felt comfortable. I was obviously tired and the front desk attendant asked me if I needed anything. She informed me where to park and the time breakfast was ready. It was perfect because I needed to leave at very early. The breakfast area was very nice and there was plenty of room to seat. It was a nice stay.

Staff was great; poor general condition despite some semblance of remodeling. Bed was hard and the bathtub repair was peeling.

Filthy
Every room had a door mat outside that looked like they had been chewed up by a dog. Once in the room I could see daylight under the door. There was at least a half inch gap. The night lock on the door was loose and not secure. The floors felt gritty and dirty. There was dry rot in the bathroom and paint peeling off the walls. This place should not be allowed on Hotels.com. In need of a major makeover.
