Great location off of Laurel St. Small but cozy
Great location right off of Laurel St. Very convenient location. within walking distance of well, : everything, Lucky California grocery store, Shell gas station, Jack in the Box and of course all the great botiques and stores up and down Laurel St, including USPS. It's a small but cozy no frills hotel but our room did have brand new carpet, a little refrigerator and a microwave, which was nice to have a cold drink close by and some way to heat up our left overs. The staff here was very friendly which is always a good thing when your in a new location. Long story short, considering the great location and low rates the hotel was perfect and honestly, you can't ask for anthing more.

Seen this place plenty of times never stayed, but the price point was great at like 60$ for a single night at my halfway point of a 2 day drive. From the outside looks good. I am only reviewing room 4 the one I stayed in I can’t speak on the others but it has no key card it’s old school locks which is charming, opening the door I was hit in the face with the smell of a sour turd. I almost left but but I needed rest. The lady at the front was sweet and charged no deposit only my card number for incidentals, there are none in this room tho. It had 2 beds and they were made up but looked less than average. Dark and dingy the walls were peeling and crumbling the tv has comcast Xfinity, microwave and fridge, big bathroom hot HOT! Water. The curtains had seen better days and matched the outdated comforter.. it seemed like a good room to hold up in for a couple days with a bag of party favors and a pro but that wasnt my intention this time lol this room lacked but where it lacks I see opportunity. Although the heater didn’t work there was a space heater in the room. It’s not hsrd to fix so I did it just needed he condenser cleaned off and the thermometer sensor thing cleaned snd reseated and it got luke warm. The thing about this room.. new beds, hvac, curtains, re stain the furniture and interior restoration re: paint repair walls/ceiling, this would be a hidden diamond and for what it could be, I’ve stayed in similar rooms on the coast for upwards of $1000 a night. Reaction SCI!

6/10 Good

It’s a cheap place to stay. Overal a good experience. The AC worked well and the bed was comfy. The neighborhood surrounding seemed safe and quiet, but the bathroom was dirty and had a leaky sink. Around the shower was dirt and hair, and hair inside the tub. One of the sheets was stained as well.

small basic motel near El Camino Real
OK as a basic motel to take a shower, sleep. reasonably clean and quiet

8/10 Very good

Construction
Checkin was easy, they are always nice. The only thing is the construction going on right in front of the hotel. Obviously not their fault.

10/10 Exceptional

Very lovely botique hotel in the middle of a questionable area. Effectively operated, reasonably priced, clean and slightly old-timed if not outdated.
