A good stay
Liked: A good value. A no thrills hotel room that’s fairly quiet and clean. Same road as many other hotels so location is fine.
Disliked: My TV didn’t work at all. Could have been specific to my room.

Great value, close to I-5
Liked: Small, clean, older hotel with ample parking. Friendly, responsive staff. Simple breakfast works for us. Close to I-5 and restaurants, but quiet. Would stay here again.

Comfortable, clean and economical.
Liked: It was clean and comfortable. The place was generally quiet and calm. Other guests seemed happy with the fresh waffles and other breakfast offerings. I had other breakfast plans.
Disliked: It took me a while to figure out how to get the shower water hotter than tepid. I hadn't even seen that kind of temperature adjustment before. The space under the door let in hallway noises that woke me once in the night.

Surprisingly Pleasant Stay, Would Def...
Liked: All staff members were friendly and helpful. We arrived earlier than check-in time but staff still took us in and showed us our room! Breakfast was basic but very much enough to start your day, it was a lot better than what I expected. You can even make your own waffle, which was fun and delicious. The room was clean, spacious and quiet. Also had a little facility room with a few gym equipment and a pools table - we didn't use it though. The location isn't difficult to get to, we bus there.
Disliked: Couldn't find anything we disliked except the bus that stops right in front of the inn ends earlier than expected but the next closest bus stop is only 7mins walk away, still super convenient.

I would not recommend
Liked: I would not recommend staying at this hotel. Read the reviews on Google maps and they support my concerns.
Disliked: Worst pillow I have had in a hotel, like a sack of rags. The bed was quite lumpy and had stains on the fabric base. The room provided 2 towels in a quad room booked for four. Both towels were old and worn and one towel had two very large holes (tennis ball size) worn in it. The carpet was old and musty and I found two shards of broken glass on the floor, suggesting it had not been vacuumed. The chair fabric was stained. Hotel is located next to a busy freeway - very noisy all day and night. Hotel area seemed unsafe at night. We saw a father sitting on the side of the road begging for money in the morning and he was with a young daughter with red hair aged around 6 and she was wearing no shoes. We reported this and we hope the family get the support needed. The breakfast area is a very small and tight area and was very over crowded. Not very sanitary or Covid safe. People were sitting almost on top of each other or standing up and eating due to lack of seating and needed to squeeze past each other to access food and drink. The breakfast area seemed designed to be tight and uncomfortable to restrict access to food and encourage people not to sit to eat. The nighttime staff member was polite and professional. The daytime staff were staring at the people at breakfast and repeatedly walking past the breakfast area in groups of 2-3 staff and consistently staring at the people eating breakfast. Very unusual behaviour I have never experienced at a hotel or motel. Several of my family members are from the same culture as the staff members and this staring would be considered very unusual or even impolite or confronting to my family members from this culture. A very strange experience. I would not recommend this hotel.
