    The room was a bit small, but other than that everything was perfect!

    Clean and easy motel that we’ve booked after our adventure in Death Valley (about a 2h drive). Great price, friendly staff!

    Cleanliness was a mixed bag. Our room had been cleaned, but when I went to get some ice I discovered the ice bucket looked like somebody had been sick in it; I was worried after I touched it. The facility is just really old. Rooms are pretty small. But the price was decent.

    The free breakfast in the adjacent cafe is nice: a hot cooked-to-order meal of eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage and toast. It's a tiny place rebranded, apparently recently, from being a Budget Inn, as that is still the name on the wifi. It's small enough that you can park right in front of your room. It's a convenient stop on the road to Death Valley, right next to a drug store that you can shop at for last-minute supplies.

    Free breakfast is a cupon to use at a nearby cafe, does not include drinks, just eggs, bacon and toast or hashbrown.

    Nice stop on the way from Sequoia National Park to Death Valley National Park. Good rest, comfortable and well located. Parking available at no cost.

    Floors were dirty, everything in the room was a bit worn, but that didn’t affect sleep.

    Good for a short stop between cities. Bed to sleep in, clean sheets, breakfast included (you might need to ask for the vouchers if they don’t give them during check-in). Parking right in front of the room door.

    The small room was packed with a lot of bulky furniture which made it feel cramped. Some of the furniture could be removed/replaced/rearranged to make the room feel larger. Room was also dusty eg. the bed frame. Included breakfast is actually vouchers to the cafe next door where you could get toast, eggs, sausage/bacon and hash browns but no drinks are included.

    It was fine for a one night stay - TV and WiFi provided entertainment. In addition, location is quite nice, within walking distance to several restaurants, grocery, museums, etc. Bathroom had a rain shower head which is quite nice and washes your hair regardless of your intent.

    The bed was a bit squeaky, and I could feel the mattress springs. But we still did have a decent nights sleep.

    Surprisingly, clean updated showers and bathroom. Central location and friendly staff. As far as motels go, it is a good, well-kept one.

    The bed was uncomfortably soft. It was rather strange that breakfast was included, the food was, and yet we had to pay for coffee and tea. Breakfast does usually include a hot drink!

    The young lady at the front desk was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Adequate accommodation for a one night stay.

    Not much I didn't like. Maybe that the breakfast, which you take in a little cafe next door, didn't include a coffee, that was a bit strange.

    It did the job whilst passing through. The lady at reception in made it for me. She was just so helpful, lovely and friendly. Then it was clean and had all I needed.
