They upgraded my room at no charge, it was the one with a full kitchen. Shower was beautiful, room was large, kitchen well stocked, room seemed clean. A family could easily stay there comfortably with two large beds, and a couch that could be a small child's bed.
Had to park in the street around the corner as the lot was full. The walk wasn't long and didn't seem dangerous.

Motel was close to the Ventura Fairgrounds, which was our primary destination for the weekend; close also to downtown. Check-in was smooth and the office manager was great. Room was small but contained all amenities at its price range, with exception of a blow dryer. Bed was comfy; room included fridge, microwave, and a small 1-cup coffee maker; bathroom shower was small but not too small. TV included a variety of channels. We felt safe enough in the neighborhood.
Grout in shower could use good scrubbing and/or replacement - a little shadowy. Soap didn't lather well. Parking lot space is limited and tight, but there is additional street parking available. No place within easy walking distance to run out for a quick morning cup of coffee, but there is a Thai restaurant, small liquor store, and Mexican restaurant directly across the street.

The location is the first reason I go to this hotel. The 2nd reason is its very nice because all of the rooms have been updated and they are very clean and comfortable. They are also not expensive and the value meets my needs. The staff is very courteous as well.
The staff might want to suggest to the guests that quiet time is 10 pm. The upstairs guests seem to like to walk around heavily late into the night. And since we requested a ground floor to my condition we could hear disturbance above us.

Very comfortable bed, just right balance between soft and firm. Clean, recently refurbished bathroom with good nicely-tiled shower. Esp like the cove for shampoo, washcloth, etc. Big TV, table and two good chairs in a compact room. Would def stay again.
Limited parking. I was able to maneuver around and back into a tight space in rear, but overall, get there earlier rather than later for parking. Also, I rolled an ankle and fell off the dark green walkway immediately surrounding the building in the pre-dawn darkness. It looked level with black driveway, but it isn't!

The room was massive. Tv high quality. Kitchenette was not expected to
A bit of rougher neighborhood where clerk locked the door and used the night window in the late afternoon. Parking was a bit limited, but we found it. Hotel looked like a 1960’s style - think Lorraine Motel in Memphis look. Older outside, vintage look. Inside room was more modern.

This place was great. Amazingly comfortable bed/mattress and bed. Unassuming property on an active street but once you're in your room it's very peaceful and relaxing. I'd recommend to get a room on the back of you can. Neal (the manager) was great and very attentive. You can't go wrong staying here imo.

Property didn’t look like much from outside but once you got into room it was a whole different story! Very clean, big TV and bed! Microwave, refrigerator, bed very comfortable!
At first the area but was very quiet and no problems

this is a cheerful re-do of an older motel. Nothing fancy, but considerable attention to detail and unexpected little additions such as the artificial flowers in the bathroom.
parking is limited, but on-street is quite acceptable.

It was clean, updated interior, and had great kitchen amenities in the suite we were upgraded to!
The bed had a dip so it was a little uncomfortable but I was still able to sleep fine.

You can tell it had been remodeled. The facilities seemed very new. My wife was very happy.
Bathroom and Shower were a little on the small side.
