The free breakfast in the adjacent cafe is nice: a hot cooked-to-order meal of eggs, hash browns, bacon or sausage and toast. It's a tiny place rebranded, apparently recently, from being a Budget Inn, as that is still the name on the wifi. It's small enough that you can park right in front of your room. It's a convenient stop on the road to Death Valley, right next to a drug store that you can shop at for last-minute supplies.
Cleanliness was a mixed bag. Our room had been cleaned, but when I went to get some ice I discovered the ice bucket looked like somebody had been sick in it; I was worried after I touched it. The facility is just really old. Rooms are pretty small. But the price was decent.

It was a stab in the dark where to stay but i opted for this stopover due to cost mainly 🤷♂️ On arrival i wasn't sure about it but the lady on reception was lovely & First impressions for me are most important,it smelt clean & fresh in there so fingers crossed🤔,the room was small but ideal for me being solo & it was clean & had all i needed for my stopover.
The only issue was the shower cubicle which could leak water onto the floor i think maybe the curtain was to short ?? But thats all ..

The food vouchers, the Cafe, my cozy room, the very comfortable bed and pillows, the mirror, my car nice and close to the room door, the working heater, ok to good wifi, the rain head (probably my favorite part) shower, and the excellent service at the check in service desk.
The hot water was over the top in heat and took awhile to cool down to the right temperature, but other then that things were good.

Very good location in a small town. The rates are very fair, especially for California, which is the main reason I'm giving it 9/10 - otherwise it's basically a standard motel with small-ish room, but clean and comfortable. Breakfast at the café next door was pretty good, too.
Nothing given the rates - many motels offer bigger rooms, but they come with bigger price tags as well.

Good location on the north end of town; right across street from a Stater Bros. market and Tokyo House restaurant (good Japanese food), plus next door to a Walgreen's. Very comfortable bed. Larger-than-usual mini fridge plus microwave. TV wasn't working the first night but it worked the rest of my stay. Very competitive rates.
Not a huge fan of the rainfall style of shower heads, especially in the small shower enclosure of my room. Makes it nearly impossible to avoid the water stream while lathering up. WiFi was on the slow side.

The room was big, clean and had everything even for a longer stay. The breakfast was also good, and included in the room price. Free parking on spot.
I guess you can't sleep during the summer with the AC on. We didn't need it just a bit to cool down the room before sleep.

Room, shower (loved the rain head) , bed , location, wifi was good , and overall how Everything is set up in the room .
Bathrooms need a drain or perhaps extra towels should be added in case water gets on the floor. And my pillow were sort comfy they just sank down to far but I managed to just combine the two so it was comfortable

Friendly welcome from the staff. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Bathroom also clean and surprisingly modern. Air con was good. Breakfast was nice and convenient being next door to the motel. Great value for money and would recommend to anyone passing through.

The young lady at the front desk was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Adequate accommodation for a one night stay.
The bed was uncomfortably soft. It was rather strange that breakfast was included, the food was, and yet we had to pay for coffee and tea. Breakfast does usually include a hot drink!

We were on route to Death Valley and then Vagas. The property was perfect for our pit stop. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. It had a good size room with a fridge and coffee maker and it served us well. There is also a cafe (the midway cafe) right next to the property which served amazing and well priced breakfasts. We also enjoyed Ridgeway and had a good meal at Charlie’s pub and grill, which was good fun.
