Absolutely the CLEANEST budget motel we have ever stayed in! All the furniture and facilities were kept in immaculate condition. Very impressed for a place so affordable. Booked the place primarily because it was walking distance from the OC Fairgrounds. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay at again!

Honestly a little sketchy and was hard to sleep lots of noise with thin walls if that makes sense it’s a motel at the end of the day but they also made me pay another fee when I arrived on top of what I payed through Expedia
