When we pulled in, I want sure what to expect. The gentleman at the desk was friendly and even upgraded our room to a 2 bed kitchenette. The room was clean and smelled nice. The only issue was parking. We came back to the motel after our event around 10pm and the was no place to park. We asked if we could park in the one handicap spot left and the man at the desk said it shouldn't be a problem. Other than the parking issue, our stay was good

Easy to find. Very very limited parking in the back about 8-100 spots. Shower drain smelled so bad like sewer and water took 10 mins to heat up. Not the cleanest but not a dirty bathroom. Window screen was broken. Dusty lamp. Property needs remodeling. Also they charge 25 for early arrival and watch out with your deposit. Apparently he didn’t know who would refund me via credit card if no one was in the office. Don’t forget to ask them before you leave property. I’m not coming back here u fortunately.

Pros
We stayed in the room for 2 nights and came away with a great impression!
The room and bathroom both had a fresh, recently renovated feel.
On our second day, housekeeping even came by to make up the bed and refresh the towels.
Fairly spacious, with a fridge and microwave included.

Cons
At one point we took the last spot in the parking lot, and another car arrived after us — not sure where they ended up parking...
The soundproofing leaves something to be desired.

The “non-smoking” room reeked like someone chain-smoked in it for a decade — the walls could probably sweat nicotine. Turning on the bathroom fan just pumped out more tar-scented air. They clearly know, since there’s a sad little Glade plug-in trying to fight for its life.
The bed felt like plywood, pillows were thinner than a napkin, and staff interaction was basically nonexistent. Looked clean, smelled like regret.

CLEAN-COMFORTABLE-EASY-SIMPLE

I had stayed here one other time for a quick overnight. It was less expensive than most and not the typical place I book. I usually stay at 4 or 5 star places but knew this place was easy, clean, comfortable and simple. The manager was nice, friendly and it was a fast check-in. The room was clean, everything functioned, the pillows and bed were much better than many higher end places that have been terrible. It does not have other creature comforts (if you are looking for resort features) as it's a motel, but it's a great little place! Parking and access was easy and the location is fantastic in relation to getting to many things like downtown & the Main Street walk (which is becoming like the 3rd Street Promenade that Santa Monica is famous for). There are many restaurants, shops and things to do, all within a couple minute drive. The room was definitely worth the cost and if you are looking for a place to rest your head, crash out or stay over night, this place works well. If you are looking for a resort experience or all the amenities of a full service hotel with a spa, pool, restaurant, bar, etc., then this would not be your place. I have been twice now and both times were about the same experience...consistent, worked great and I was happy that I stayed. AC worked well, shower pressure was fantastic and the bathroom was spacious. The only thing negative would be the artificial/chemical \"Glade\" type freshener which those belong in the trash. Great Motel & Great Staff!

Neil was wonderful at check in. Area around the motel was quiet. Room was clean and very nicely updated. BEDS are EXCELLENT. Loved the microwave and empty space we could use in the mini-fridge; SO glad it was not loaded with expensive snacks that we would not eat. Instead, I got to load it with my fave beverages.
Oddly, the only clothes rack were over the microwave, making it difficult for a short person to hang and retrieve clothing. Also, the walls were plain next to the sink where two towel racks could go to hang wash cloths etc.
Only 3 blocks away is Art's Corner Cafe: AWESMAZING. You will not regret a visit there!!!
