Cons: The motel is under construction so I was put on the side next to the freeway. It was so loud it seemed like the door was open all night. People seem to live there on the ground floor. Very sketchy. Will not go back. Pros: Low price, take cash.

This hotel is largely being renovated. (Walls, floors, plumbing, electrical, being replaced.) They do not require a deposit. There is construction noise. I checked in at a construction trailer (the clerk was very nice.) I went to my room, in the back of the property, in the unrenovated building. There was a woman smoking on the steps right in front of my door. The tile floor was greasy. The furniture was sticky. I called the desk, and held the room phone away from my face, and checked out . She was nice, and refunded me. I stayed at the Cozy Inn, which was perfect. To the nice woman at the desk, I'm sorry for this bad review. You were the best part of my experience. (Thanks!)

Disgusting. Never again.

This hotel was disgusting. Property is fenced around dilapidated buildings, drug deal in the parking lot, mattresses outside, Office in a construction shack. List of people that they cant rent to out for everyone to see. Absolutely would never ever go back.

They were under a remodel so some services were not available. But the room was decent and the beds were not terrible. Last minute option this was better than what was original.

Worn down motel, no pool, ok room

Pulling up to this place, every part of my reptile brain was telling me to turn around. It looked like it might be getting renovated but most of it, including the pool, was closed. The side facing the freeway was the only part open. Not the cute family motel seen in the photos. I was imagining a fight breaking out in the parking lot or my car getting broken into, but I'm glad we stuck it out. The double queen room was clean and comfortable enough for the price we paid. The only noises we heard in the night was the freeway, which was really loud. The pillows were strange clumps of fabric that my wife and I couldn't shape into anything comfortable but the kids seemed to sleep ok.

Left 15 minutes after arriving

Pulled up to the motel to find the front completely fenced off and under construction, I wasn't made aware of this. I found the check-in station in a temporary portable on-site. I selected a non-smoking room, however the room reeked of cigarettes. There were older vehicles that looked like they were permanently parked and a lot of people walking in and out of rooms, it made me feel a little uneasy. There was sun shining in around all 4 sides of the door, and I could hear everything going on outside. Bedding had cigarette burns and toilet wasn't sturdy. This was the first time I've ever not felt safe at a motel and I left and stayed somewhere else. Low price point but still not worth it.

Towels were dirty, there was hair on them and in the shower. Curtains were all ripped up. front door lock was broke. Didn't feel safe. Most the hotel rooms looked like people lived there. Definitely would never recommend this to anyone.

It’s not often you book a hotel and show up to a consultation site. I found a trailer with a light on and there was a nice lady working who checked me in and informed me I was rebooked at another hotel across town (valley Green apartments formerly motel 6). After a bit of a wait I received my keys and directions to the other place. Once I arrived my keys didn’t work so back to the construction site and trailer we went. The desk lady called for some help but no one was answering to help her. After an hour she reprogrammed my keys and said to go back and give it a try again. She gave me a number to call if it didn’t work. Off to the other hotel went… Once again the door keycard did not work. I called the number she gave me and it instantly went to voicemail “no one it available and the mailbox is full, goodbye”. Wow! This really sucks. I go back to the construction site trailer again and let the office lady know they key cards didn’t work again and the number she gave me to call didn’t allow me to get through to anyone. There were others having similar issues in the “trailer”. The office lady was trying her best and I felt bad for her. There was zero support from the hotel “management”. After about 30 minutes she gave me keys to another room and we got it. We booked for two nights but in the morning after the first night. This place SUCKS!

The location is great in relation to I5, food options, and tons of shopping. We spent about a week here playing at Great Wolf Lodge during the day and sleeping at King Oscar. I love that there is a Safeway down the street so I could grab some food staples and use the fridge/freezer and microwave to eat food we love instead of spending a fortune on food from resturaunts and fast food that isn’t as good as homemade. Check in was easy and the woman at the front desk was lovely. There were residents who seemed to live at the property meandering and were very kind and respectful to us. There was a lot of road noise from I5 (our room was facing the freeway) which provided great white noise for us. My family loves cars so we enjoyed the sounds of cars going by. We didn’t hear a sound from neighbors so I think the sound of the cars was a great bonus. Overall it’s definitely a “you get what you pay for” stay but I found the pros to outweigh the cons.
