  : A fairly standard motel, with rooms perhaps a bit larger than many. It's mostly the corridor type (like hotels) rather than the more typical balcony-type where you enter from the outside, which is a plus because nobody walks past your window every five minutes. (There is a smaller section of the latter type as well, but even those rooms have windows on the other side to the doors). Despite a large road nearby, there was little noise: the building is on a hill above the road.The included breakfast was very good for an establishment of this class. Yes, mostly pre-packaged food (e.g. waffles), plus boiled eggs, toasts, etc., but enough variety to fill you up. For those who doesn't like or miss it, there is a cafe literally next door, as well as a gas station.Somewhat unusually for an American motel, there even was a coffee machine in the room, although whether one can call 'coffee' what it produces is debatable.
  : The room lighting was a bit too dim. Also, in our room the TV remote control did not match the TV and thus didn't work.

Disappointing

  : All prepackaged mediocre food. Didn’t eat any of it.
  : Cheap sheets, furnishings, low end. Didn’t have one iron or ironing board in the whole place. Very mediocre.

  : Typical American Highway Motel. Friendly staff. Upstairs back room was decently painted and looked alright. Silent considering it faces a busy road. Location is convenient near Highway CA-108, restaurant, markets. Gas station right next door to the Motel. Shower could have more pressure. Good breakfast with boiled egg and yoghurt.
  : Wi-Fi was bad. Breakfast area not very comfortable right at the reception. Few sketchy people outside but they were no bother.

  : The location and parking were great !
  : The tv was t working properly . The lights and click were not plugged in. The cleaning staff in the morning , banged loudly ion every door in the morning. Woke us up way too early . The rugs throughout were dirty, stain filled and actually disgusting. The outside doors did not close properly and there is a charge for staying even one hour later , which is unusual for any hotel to do that , if they can give that courtesy. Overall I was very disappointed with my whole experience and would never stay here again.

  : Nothing
  : Place was a dump, shady drug addict type people everywhere. Hanging out, driving bikes around the parking lot, in the lobby, place smelled like weed the minute we drove up. Bad bad bad
