The hotel is fine, it should only have a refrigerator and a microwave. For the price it should have that equipment.

Convenient Location
The location is convenient. The room we got was bigger than the typical room for Motel 6 and liked it but the floors need to be cleaned more. Also when we checked out really early morning there was somebody outside “waiting” and it looked sketchy so we managed to just leave and didnt bother to go to the front desk.

No se hospeden aquí, mejor busquen algo más
Las paredes de las habitaciones son muy delgadas, escuchábamos todo lo que hacían y todo decían los vecinos de la habitación de enseguida, el colchón tenía los resolves saltados en un lado y hundido en el otro lado del colchón, horrible

Neither of the ice machines were working in August in Southern California. The staff refused to provide me with ice, although the website claimed to have ice. They directed me to a 7 Eleven and refused to get it themselves of pay for it.
