I'm sorry I didn't read the reviews b/4 going. First, when entering the front office, the smell of Marsala was strong. The carpet on the stairs to the room were dirty. the carpet in the room was worse (lots of stains, and dirt), the under side of bed spread had lots of holes. the pillow cases were stained. The lights,... More

This is an Econo Lodge - Don't expect much. The place is being remodeled and the rooms need a lot of improvements. The place is quiet and great location. The owner is really nice , but other staff hard to communicate with. The restaurant next door is really good and has very reasonable prices. More

I stayed here for $90/night, and for that price I feel like I got what I paid for. It wasn't perfect and probably could have been a little cleaner, but it had free WiFi, huge rooms, a full kitchen (albeit minimal silver wear, pots & pans or anything you need to actually cook something), and the bathrooms were nice. Parking... More

The front buildings of this motel are being refinished. We were skeptical at first. We were given an oversized King Suite with full kitchenette and LARGE bathroom. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Very brass tacks straight forward continental breakfast. I would have no reservations about staying there again. More

We arrived around 9:30 PM on a Saturday evening. Reserved a week ahead -- one of the better deals available for visiting SF (half hour away). Had to wait a bit after ringing the Night Bell. Got a king-size bed in the rear of the property. As others have noted, this place is undergoing construction -- the front section nearest... More

Avoid at all costs. There are not many hotels in this town which is the only reason I can account for this still being opened. From the moment we got there the front desk person had a bad attitude; complaining about everything under the sun and it definitely seemed like an inconvenience to him that we were there at all....

I was afraid to sleep at night. The room was filthy and looks like it hadn't been updated since the 50's. OK, I didn't pay top dollar - we definitely got what we paid for. It looked as thought there was some renovation going on so hopefully in 6 months all rooms would be remodeled?! More

I live near a Econo Lodge in Arizona. I selected this since it was inexpensive. I was expecting a bottom of the line hotel. This place in nice. Lots of new paint and plants. I would recommend it to everyone. More
