The motel is not in the best part of town. The parking lot is old and spaces are small. Staff was okay, the floors felt dirty, we felt a lot of sand walking around the room. We went out to dinner at North Italia which is about 10 mins away, The beds were too soft for my liking, but it was okay for 1 night’s stay. I don’t know if I would go back, probably not.

We were only here to sleep close to the airport and it did it's job with that. No toiletries are provided, but there's a shower and bed and that's what we needed. The outside had lots of trash in the parking lot and surrounding the stairs. Seems weird a cleaning person didn't have that cleaned. We wouldn't want to stay there any longer than a night, but it was good for that.

The positive is that the bathroom was basically clean.
Otherwise, the place was very dirty. The walls were dirty and with many chips and cracks needing repair; the dresser in the room was a disaster, the heating/cooling element was filthy and in extremely unkept condition and looking like it was ready to fall apart. I could go on but I will not.

An older motel, but well kept. Room was clean and well maintained. I only had two issues, really more of inconveniences. First, there was no place to hang any clothing, not even a hook on the wall. Second, all the lighting was overhead, there wasn't a bedside lamp. One overhead light did have a dimmer which softened the effect. Overall, it was great value for the cost and I'd definitely stay here again.

A great location across the freeway from the Orange County fairgrounds. It's clean and basic, but rooms do have a fridge and microwave. If you have clothing that needs to be hung, you will want to bring a portable rack for that purpose.

Staff was very nice, but honestly this property is pretty old and kinda shady. Kept hearing people running and stomping up and down the stairs and corridor well afterhours and heard someone try to open my door (i can only hope that they mistook my room for theirs and not some other nefarious reason). The cleanliness is mid, but the bedding and towels are beyond old. The cover had stains and smelled musty, and after seeing two stained towels, i just chose to use my own towels instead. I know the motel is old, and i wouldnt complain much about the wear and tear aspect of this place- but i really feel like if you're a solo traveller (particularly a female solo traveller) you're better off just paying a bit more money and stay somewhere safer.

It’s basic which you would expect in most motels. You do have to pay $10 if you have more than 1 car on the reservation. The room I stayed in had no batteries in the smoke detector and the shower head was not on the shower water spout. While I’m glad I had a place to sleep, it wouldn’t be a choice I’d make again.

this place is good enough. The only thing I can really mention as a drawback is that there weren't any lights by the bed.

It's not that close to the Anaheim Convention Center, but it's a lot cheaper than the motels that are :D
