It was very conveniently near a carls jr. Literally same parking lot. So that was nice. Was pretty quiet from traffic and people. Both front and back door of room closed and locked. Made us feel safe.

I have been coming to this motel multiple times throughout the years and it have genuinely gone down hill. During one of my stays my room door reader jammed and refused to unlock my door. Staff then had me wait until the morning the next day to get it open by the owner, all my sons belongings including medicine where in accessible for 12 hours. Zero refund and zero complimentary stay, just an apology. And today when checking-In I found a dead mouse decomposing in my room. I took photos and nothing was done.

Checking in and out was fast and easy. Lack of cleanliness was the main issue. The updated bathroom was nice, however there were a lot of ants on the sink and floor boards. There were also drink rings on the TV stand and night stand, so I'm assuming these were not wiped down. The floor also did not appear to be vacuumed. The beds were made and looked clean. I used the microwave and fridge and both worked and were clean. The motel is in a convenient location and it felt safe.

Continential breakfast could be better. Egg muffins are wrapped in paper so likely have been prepared days before use. Even though not many at breakfast the large coffee urn had to be made and a few items were no available. This was a Ssaturday.
