Nice, clean motel with easy access to the freeway. It is also close to the Madonna Inn, restaurants and a grocery store. The room had a mini fridge which is always useful. The lower parking lot is shared with Denny’s restaurant, which depending on the time of day can make parking tricky, but very convenient for casual dining. Overall it’s a good budget friendly option.

The good: convenient location and plenty of parking. Rooms are a decent size too. The bad: very dirty. There was a stench of sewer that came from the bathroom. The soap dispenser base next the sink was covered with a thick layer of hair and shavings. There were multiple stains on both be sheets. If you are a "clean" person , stay away from this place.
