Very run down. No pool. Pictures advertised are deceiving. No continental breakfast. Nobody at front office. Had to ring doorbell. Took them a while to even show up. I thought I had been scammed.
Room was falling apart. I didn't want to set my stuff down on floor or dirty chair. Bathroom shower door was taped up. Walls not painted. Just grimy. We decided to go somewhere else to stay. The place we chose to stay was cheaper at last minute and much nicer. This place is a rip-off.

This motel has been in Livermore for as long as I can remember. Probably since the 1950's. I no longer live in Livermore, but had an event to attend and decided to stay here. It was within walking distance of everything I needed to see, including restaurants and coffee. The rooms have been upgraded and were very clean. The lady at the desk was friendly. The ice machine was out of order, but there is a store nearby where ice can be purchased. I was very happy with the lodgings for the cost.

This place is in major need of new furniture and repairs. While the staff does their best to ensure it’s clean there is furniture that looks like it came from the dump. And when I checked the mattress for bed bugs there were no bugs but the mattress had black stains on it. I checked in, looked around, and immediately left and booked something else.

i was given a newly renovated room; new flooring, furnishings, and large RCA flatscreen TV. it is clean and comfortable. contrary to what is shown in past reviews of run down estate, this motel looks rather new. shower spray was powerful and hot water consistent. only issue was the toilet bowl water kept running, open the tank lid & saw that the plunger obstructs the drain pipe closure lid. I fixed it.

Needs Serious Updating

Pros:
(1) Very friendly staff and housekeeping! April was very pleasant and efficient.
(2) Nice quiet property. about 25 units.
(3) Parking on property was very good.
(4) Walking distance to Starbucks, CVS, Safeway across the street.

Cons:
(1) Our room was seriously in need of updating.
(2) Shower was so awful we didn't use it. see pic.
(3) Sheets had black stains on it.
(4) Mattress was lumpy and uncomfortable. Didn't sleep very well.
(5) The room was clean but VERY dated and furniture kinda beat up.

We had stayed here a year before and were pleased with our room and property, so it was quite disappointing to see how run down it had become.

All that said, if looks aren't important, and considering the pretty important pros, you'll like this place.

Disgusting…. Afraid to lay my head on any other of the tiny 4- pillows offered. No blankets offered. Stale cigarette smoke odor. Disgusting floaters in the shower once turned on. Someone’s deodorant was located behind toilet. No sleep, bathroom window open to neighbors. Remote for TV “sticky”. Yuck. Tv was set on Spanish TV only… A night of my life and $100 I’ll never get back.

The only thing we liked was the location near our son. The facility is very run down with the ice machine, coke machine, washer and dryer and pool all out of service. There was no coffee available in the room or in the front reception. There was only one hand towel and face towel and the bath towels were very poor quality. This place is way over priced for the services that are available-price higher than Motel 6 with far less amenities available

This place is reliant solely on it's convenient downtown livermore location to give the aforementioned value. Place is a sty, absolutely gnarly. The couple that manages the property have been really nice to me and I've never had a bad customer service experience so I just want to clarify that I don't hold them in the same esteem as the property itself but overall I would caution against staying the night here when there are better rooms available in both quality and price.
