Needs some TLC!!!

This motel needs a lot of work! Has potential. Close to Cannery Row. Our room only had one light. Plumbing was leaking. Management was nice to put us in the handicap room, which was nice enough.

Road hard and put away wet

The only way to describe this property is rough. The room was clean enough to stay, but aside from that everything was old and haggard and location left a lot to be desired.
Matthew, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible run down place.

The room had no chairs, just an old table and bed, coffee maker did not work, shower did not have hot water, the bed was so uncomfortable we left after 1st night, would never stay there again, run down, when asked for chairs said no one asked for chairs and brought us I desk chair.

Mee, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a perfectly fine place to stay with absolutely nothing fancy. As is common with inexpensive hotels, many things were a bit wonky or unfinished. But the beds were nice and firm and it had a refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and microwave. Fo4 the price, it worked for me.
Marc, 1-night trip

Pass it up

Very outdated room with no lamps by bedside, no chair, no clothes hangers in closet area and no hanging rod. Layout of room doesn’t make sense. Wifi doesn’t work well indoors (very intermittent and have to use outside or right at the window only). Parking lot is very small and some areas difficult to maneuver back out. The only good thing was that there is a pool. I would not recommend and will not return.

Guillermo, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was pretty bad... Pretty much everything in the room was broken in some way. The wifi was horrible, and the pool was closed. 2 key cards malfunctioned, and I watched a tweaker exercise with a brick. There was a hookers acrylic finger nail right outside my door. Staff was nice at least. A bum aslo hit us up for weed.

DO NOT RECOMMEND

I would not recommend this motel. Our room was a non-smoking room, yet smelled of smoke. The room had beat up furniture and did not appear clean and was poorly lit. No lamps or plugs to charge phones. The bed was terrible, extremely hard as if sleeping on a board. The bathroom was dirty. The heater was noisy. It did not have amenities like an iron or hair dryer. Even though listing said it had hair dryer in the room. The motel did not have liners for the ice bucket either, so unsanitary.

Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The furniture was falling apart, the bed was sinking, the bathroom had lot of stains, the bathroom faucet had white mold-dirt, the humidity was excessive for it didn't have room to scape. The doors doesn't have extra security
