Nice, clean motel with easy access to the freeway. It is also close to the Madonna Inn, restaurants and a grocery store. The room had a mini fridge which is always useful. The lower parking lot is shared with Denny’s restaurant, which depending on the time of day can make parking tricky, but very convenient for casual dining. Overall it’s a good budget friendly option.

This is a place built beside the mountain. Quiet. I booked this place because it was cheap, but to my surprise, the room was very clean and didn't have any strange odors. Free parking and easy. Recommend it.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff was friendly and the room clean but it had a very strong almost unbearable chemical smell. The stench didn’t go away even after I left the door open for 45 minutes. The bed was nice and clean but the room had only a tiny little desk and a small very low chair. The bathroom was clean and functional. The A/C was an old window unit which was very noisy. The Wifi was stable but quite slow. There were no amenities not even a water cooler in the reception area. The location is conveniently not far from 101 and right next to a Deny’s.
