    Is was a nice clean room. The staff was friendly. The bed was comfortable. It is a little remote with only a gas station close by. There is a McDonalds not too far away. It is a somewhat remote location. Security could be an issue, but we had no problems at all. There were security cameras everywhere.

    Bed were comfortable and the AC worked well. Burn holes found on the sheets, ashes were in the toilet (we were in a non-smoking room), half used toilet paper, just felt dirty. Felt deserted and secluded. Kind of scary at night.

    Room was very clean. Easy check in. We were in the room for the majority of the day, and needed towels and the man at the front got really mad at us that we had the do not disturb sign on while we were in the room. Not the greatest experience to be yelled at for something easily fixed but other than that the stay was fine.

    The room was extremely clean and that is the most important thing to me BUT it is also very run down. Paint peeling and towels that were obviously many years old. No modern outlets for charging devices and the owner didn't keep the hot tub warm (over a weekend). It was luke warm at best and not ideal for a soak after a race. He did turn it on when we asked but it was taking absolutely forever to heat up so we gave up. Two people in the room and only two threadbare towels provided for showering. When we asked for a couple for the pool they seemed confused. 3 star because of the cleanliness but that is all. The stay wasn't cheap and I suggest they put some of those funds towards some upkeep and modernizing of their place. There are other options not too far away and we will stay elsewhere next time.

    The building was old but appears to have undergone some renovation. The bed is descent the pillows are hard and so thick your neck is at an awkward angle all night. Few in room amenities. The fridge barely kept anything cool. The place was quiet despite the nearness of the freeway. There is no restaurant near by so dinner is subway or gas station food. Unless the taquero is set up on the corner. Breakfast is also subway or gas station food.

    My room had no heat, they gave me a space heater that plugged in. I was exhausted so I stayed and worried about it all night. When I got up the room had no hot water so no shower, I also found a roach in the bath mat. When I went to the office they said they only had two rooms working and no refunds. They also added $50 to my bill for two dogs and Expedia site said $20. Get them off your site until they clean up and get things working at the very least.

    The room was not great. But the location was perfect to avoid fireworks for my nervous pup. I booked the non-smoking executive king room but because I didn’t notify the office in advance of my dog I was placed in a smoking handicap room. Besides the stale smoke odor, the blanket had a hole from a cigarette. The hotel is old and everything in it. At night, the fwy noise is loud but it was far better than fireworks.

    Check-in took about fifteen minutes. The entire process appeared to be a novelty for the people working there. They were unfamiliar with the concept of passports as a means of ID or of different countries having different numbers of digits in their phone numbers. They refused to let us pay for two rooms with two different credit cards. They were not at all friendly or welcoming. Very stingy on the coffee in the room - only one cup per room. Also there was NO hot water.

    I have stayed here several times over the years. It seems to me that it used to be a lot nicer. There were 3 small pillows on a king bed. The pillows were lumpy and the bed was hard. There were 2 towels in the bathroom and one towel by the sink. There were unfinished patches on the bathroom door and poorly finished patches on the wall in the bathroom. It seemed clean enough but was a bare bones room. It was ok, but I doubt I will stay there again. I didn’t sleep very well.

    The staff was extremely friendly and the room was very clean, as was the entire property. Had a coffee maker, microwave and small fridge. You can’t beat the rate to stay here too. Very very affordable. The down fall was there was no TV our entire stay (satellite issues), no continental breakfast as pictured when booking and the juices and coffee that was in the lobby was absolutely dreadful. The flip side is it’s right next to a gas station that has everything that’s basically a shared parking lot, so that saved the day. Plus it’s a hop skip from wrightwood which we were at the entire time anyway. So it definitely has its pros and cons.

    First I want to start with the good points. We just needed a place to sleep and it was perfect for our goal. The staff was very friendly. The room was very clean. The bed and pillows were comfy. It had all of the basic necessities. But if you’re there to hang out you might want to look elsewhere. It sort of shares a parking lot with the gas station and there’s a large what I think might be a water tower right next to the parking lot. Honestly if you aren’t too picky and you just need the basics then this place is perfect.

    Was the perfect place for a quick stay. Only problem was the room heater didn't work so they gave us a very small heater, and it didn't heat the room very good.
