Gated entry. Not as noisy as I would have thought right next to a busy street.

We were really impressed. For the low, low price and slightly sketchy neighborhood we were not expecting much at all. What we found was a super friendly and competent front desk experience. The room was clean, clean and in perfect condition. The property and parking are in a locked, gated area and we met the on-site security. Nice experience.

I typically avoid staying in motels, but had no choice. This was was affordable, clean, had no smell, and the staff was very friendly. They have gated and patrol security, and made it clear that they do not tolerate any illegal activity. I actually enjoyed my stay!

Considering is a "motel" it was super clean! The rooms smell good! I love they ask for each ID photo, I love they do not allow any stranger to the property. The main gate has lock too so i feel secure even outside looks bad

"DO NOT REcommed."

2.0

Location is not safe and it is in a shady area. We arrived late to check in and drove through the street where the hookers standing on both side of street. Drape polyester kind of sheet was used over the bed. The night person was hostile and gave us attitude when we asked for regular bed sheet. He walked in the room and yanked the sheet out of the bed. Finally, we got to sleep and around midnight loud shouting and conversation started outside in addition to water dripping sound. Worst experience ever, never going to book from bookings.com We didn’t feel safe to stay for the second night and when we brought up the issues to motel staff we got hostile attitude in respond. Bookings.com couldn’t handle the situation for refund for second night so we just left for our peace of mind and safety. Absolutely don’t recommend this place.
