Its great place to stay

Encontre unas cucarachas en el piso y no están limpios

I honestly love the owner he was chill and easy to talk too I’d recommend staying here if your near or wanna head up to knotts berry farm

I liked the short driving distance to the place we were going thats why I chose this property. We were just looking for place to stay the night and it kind of fit the budget. Still worth staying eventhough bed was little off [felt like falling of the edge] cause there was queen bed on top of two twin bed. Overall it was still good for what you pay for. Perhaps need more pillow. A/c was pretty good, fridge and microwave was helpful to make it easy to heat up food and kept drink cold. Even came with essential like bar soap, shampoo and conditioner.

This is a basic hotel room. Not fancy. Everything worked.

Quiet little hotel, run by super nice folks. Would stay here again.

I highly recommend this Motel

This is an amazing little, "mom and pop" Motel, not too far from Disneyland and literally right down the blvd from Knott's Berry Farm. This was my second stay at the Motel and I am impressed more with wach visit. The clean, crisp pool.. The extremely soft bed.. the fresh and clean exterior and the friendly, "mom and pop" check-in process makes us want to return again and again.

My room has roaches which was disgusting to the point where I paid and didn’t even want to stay there I left n went to sleep somewhere else that’s how uncomfortable and nasty I felt being in this room and I was on room 52 never ever again

They didn’t clean our room and everything was nasty. The service was terrible

Bad service

Great

I didn’t make it an hour. This property is dirty, disgusting, unsanitary, and should be shut down.

Never allowed to check in but took my payment and then probably reserved room for someone else made double money

Wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend

Highly recommended

Amazing stay as always

Convenient

The owners are very nice ppl... They give you your privacy..a lot of privately owned motels around here are nosy and have ridiculous rules.The owner is very pleasant and accommodating.When I first checked in he gave me an upstairs room. But when he saw me struggling with all of my baggage he came back outside and offered me a room downstairs..

Comfortable

Greatest

I’m not the person staying there’s

Everything was good

Try it out

Good stay, no problems from me

Nice

Bugs!

Roaches, roaches and more roaches. I knew we were going to a budget motel but I didn't know we were going to a roach motel! What a mess. I will never be back here.

This has to be one of the most disgusting motels I’ve ever stepped foot in there. This hotel had cockroaches all over the floor as you first open the door. In both of the rooms that I had purchased it smelled super musty filthy, and was really disappointed with customer service especially with the cleanliness of the rooms, beds, and restrooms, would not recommend at all.

Great value for money,would stay again.

It was awful windows locks were broken and it was like a rundown motel with easy access to get in through the windows

The only thing I will say is that I liked the place and the price.

Nice place to stay just to sleep over. Not in the best conditions, but has a bed, shower, and toilet.

Nice staff! Had German cockroaches in room.

Convenient and walkable

not stinky but does not smell good

My favorite place to stay

Concerning

When we got here, the neighborhood was sketchy. The lady who checked me in was super nice. You need a cash deposit of $50 that I wasn't aware of. When we walked into the room, it was run down. There was a big dead cockroach body on the wall. We asked for 2 queen beds. We got a king bed and full in the room. The king bed was super comfy I let the kids sleep in it. The full was hard. The bathtub is super slippery so be careful when taking showers. We just needed the beds to sleep but otherwise, we won't be returning. My daughter felt weird being there. Neighborhood was quiet and it was full of cars so I felt ok staying since I paid for the room.

When we walked into the property, the floors were not swept. Also, there were bugs flying around and that there were trash that were not taken out before our check-in. The two full -size bed were also too close to each other that we barely had a room to walk around the bed. No room service was done either, leaving us with no new towels to use during our stay. To simplify, I do not recommend this place to those who are planning to stay around the Anaheim area. You will just be disappointed.

Great customer service and clean

Niurka and joselito and Carlos are the best , we love it

I'm coming back for sure

It was so hard to find a decent room that I wanted you to smoke inside the rooms when I finally got inside the room and I seen how well it looked this hotel is definitely on my list from now on and I prefer to stay here when I come in town.

Convenient

What I did not like was the room I was given. I will explain by saying that the door would never open unless you really played with wanting to gain access to your room.

Convenience

Wonderful stay as always

Walkable

Only if you do not have another choice

Not a great property. Our unit was very dirty. Came with only 1/2 roll of toilet paper. No coffee or coffee service. Office was closed and only service window used. Not attended often.

property looks old but still clean and comfortable .. price is right!

it was old dirty one

Great motel

Clean rooms

For an inexpensive one night--great. Pleasant staff. No coffee in walking distance.

Okay

I like water pressure and the TV with cable.The air conditioner is too noisy for day and night make it hard to sleep. The water shower is too low for adults. No free ice and breakfast.

Did it's job.

Not great, not bad. More than adequate, it served our purpose without blowing us away.

It will do in a Pinch

It's not the Hilton - it's not even a Motel 6 - but it will do in a pinch. Outdated and not the cleanest, just bring your own Lysol and Clorox Wipes and you will be fine. our fridge had some leaking and also came with a complimentary hair in it 😳 and the TV was doing some poltergeist activity turning on and off on its own, we just unplugged it. This place was Cheap and needed it on short notice - it did its job. Beware that there is a $ 50 CASH deposit upon check in - but you get it back after you leave.

Ok

-The room was dirty even after housekeeping came by. -The TV plugged into the same outlet as the light switch. So whenever you turn off the light it kills the TV. -Upon check in, the front desk asked for a $20 cash deposit. It had to be cash only, no credit card. Seemed like a lie and a scam by the staff.

Bad Experience

They double charged me. They would not refund me unless I signed their paperwork. There was mold in the bathroom ceiling, missing drawers on the dresser, electrical outlets did not work at the desk station, the room was very damp and everything was a bit wet. There was long black hairs in the bathroom and in the bed. The pillows were so old and flat. They said because we checked in late, they would not clean the room the next day. We also had to pay them a deposit in cash only that was non refundable. The experience was very disappointing. I would not recommend this location. The price was low but I would have paid more for a better experience.

If you're looking for a cheap dive motel, you've found it. We indeed WERE looking for a cheap dive motel. Beds were clean and comfortable, good AC, good shower. The rest, however, was, umm... interesting. Half a roll of tp in the bathroom-- remember to ask for an extra lol

Bed was comfy but the room, especially the bathroom, was dirty. Needs to be deep cleaned.

In general very basic, not bad for a unplanned stay. It is clean but furniture is very old. Has refrigerator. it is OK but really normal

Needs a good Clorox cleaning in the restroom a lot of mold and need new shower head the fire alarm kept on turn on because the steam from the shower the furniture was falling apart just needs renovations inside and out I would not return to this location

It wasnt bad rough neibor hood but the people that run it sewm to keep most of the trouble makers put of there. The owners are noce if a little standoffish.

I told the manager i had reserved a room on expedia and he aaid it sidnt matter I would still have to pay 50 cash food the room for one night. Of course after I had agreed to pay him the cash ... thats when when he doubled back and said I didnt have the room and he didnt see anything on expedia about it. My phone was acting up and I was not allowed any time to find my confirmation number or itenary to show proof of my reservation . I was made to leave the property after I asked for a refund. I was told to talk to expedia about it. Ugh... this place was horrible and im glad my friend was in town to put me up because my id and cards were stolen and i had no cash.

Very nice

Office always open

Needed a room short notice and it was

Seen the motel.in past. Well situated to venues and freeways. Quiet and safe. Would stay again

very clean 👌organized thank.you

It was clean and neat but everything was just old and dated. Beds were rather hard. The shower had great pressure. We didn’t spend much time there though. Five minute drive to Knotts Berry Farm. Great cheap place to stay to just sleep at. Be prepared for a fifty dollar deposit that they ask for in cash at check in. We had fifty dollars cash and they returned it at check out, so it was no issue, just be prepared.

Its ok minus the roaches

They have roaches. Ice machine hasnt worked in a very long time. Needs a lot of maintenance wirm

Ok room for one night stay

Room was a little dated and run down but clean. Faucet handle on tub/shower needs to be repaired.

The last motel room had mold smell and my wife got sick. At least this room was OK and no carpet so little dust. But that was it. First they wanted $25 cash deposit - even though they already charged my card - for the TV remote. There weren't enough towels for three ladies and they only had one extra to give us. But this was a cheap motel where prices were high.

Way to much foot traffic in driveway. Had to wait until ppl finished there conversion before i could pull in. Didnt feel safe at all. People coming and going all hours of the night. Room was very clean, the shower had NO shower head. Wont stay here again.

The staff was great! I had made the mistake of leaving a bag of mine un the room. I was able to contact the front desk and arrange for the bag to be returned to me. It was greatly appreciated and will give 5 stars just for that. The place was clean and exactly as advertised. I was pleased and would definitely recommend.

Low budge.

Best hotel for your money in the Anaheim area

They are always nice here and the rooms are clean and updated. Good value for your money. Man at the front was very kind and professional. We love staying here.

I'm not happy about it the first night .really tired I just slept in.but the 2nd day this all saw and problems can I got refund for that 3 nights I stay here ? Thanks Mr. Lo

Usual spot, small mom-and-pop ran motel with limited parking. Small but cozy rooms.

Nice

Happy

impressed

I found this place to be great. The owners were pleasant, it was quiet and clean, very low price and it didnt feel lije a dive.

Typical low budget stay. The staff very friendly. Rooms clean. Obviously the price attracts some questionable clientele. Overall worth the price.

Avoid!! Not worth it!!!

Rejected first room with roaches. Second room a killed roaches next to the bed and in the bathroom. The sheets had burnt cigarette holes. The bathroom wall and ceiling had black mold!! Not worth the $5 - $15 savings you may get by staying at this horrible hotel. Finally they would not take my credit card because they claimed their machine was not working and wanted cash. They directed me to a ATM machine next to the office. I drove to my bank to avoid fees at their ATM machine.

A quiet place to get awaybfor the day

This maybe an old motel but its modernized and its clean and very quiet

Sad unhappy vacation for family 😢

It was very dirty underneath the beds my 2 year old found a dirty used syrang broken pipes for drugs and glass in bathroom and parking lot didn't get any rest due to noise man who was banging on the wall or table screaming profanity words my kids can hear no card service and just not a very pleasant vacation because of the whole motel experience on top of no rest and the stuff my daughter found and other kid cutting foot on glass

Quiet, clean, comfortable bed, fridge, TV, a/c was nice and cold. Plenty of towels. Shower was nice and hot. For 2 night business stay on a budget it was just right.

The room was missing a chair so I had to pull the table over to the bed to be able to eat. The room didn’t have a refrigerator and you couldn’t get the cabinet doors in the kitchen to open.

Perfect stay

Just right

It was a perfect stay

Love their mid-century Sahara sign!

Great location, easy check-in, friendly staff and good value--awesome TV in room too with lots of channels!

Restroom in poor condition. Some items in restroom broken.

Roaches!!! Rude management. Filthy bedroom and bathroom. Do not stay here!!!

Just Average...

I was very surprised when I arrived at this motel. It didn't look nearly as new as in the photos. The facility is located in an older, slightly rough neighborhood. The facility itself is also rather old. It looks like they haven't remodeled or upgraded in at least 2 decades.

This property I was booked for $51a night online and when I got there the owner raise it up to $75 a night not only that the room have cockroaches and so small for $75 they said they have a free WiFi but there’s no WiFi this property is rib off never go back there.

For the price the room was much better than I expected

The $20 deposit should be able to be put on a card. The floors didn’t appear too clean but the room overall was. I was there for a convention and this motel wasn’t walking distance but I was fine with that. An older staff asked to physically see my friend to give him a key to the room just because he came to the motel a couple of hours after I did?? The room was for four people! Guess he thought I was a shady female. So I had to wake up to go to the office to get my friend his key & to let staff “see” him. I’ve stayed at another motel on the same street for this convention, and will book there next time.
