Good motel for area but needs some improvements
TBH we arrived at 9:30pm and my first impression wasn’t the best. But looks can be deceiving. I felt after acclimating the next day the area is perfect. SF. 2 miles=20 minutes anywhere. Cute little restaurants close by. I forgot parking is first come first serve and a Saturday night there was none. We ended up parking and blocking a car but we gave the workers are keys if it needed to be moved. There is also meter parking on street. After the weekend we had no problem with parking. The room was a typical motel room but they are making improvements. Brand new bathroom. Microwave, and mini refrigerator. Beds were soft and comfortable. Even had a super soft blanket. My daughter’s full bed was in a separate room which was great. She is 14 so we all needed a break. It was clean. We opted out of housekeeping. Only free coffee in am. Now the few complaints. Not sure if it was the owner but the gentleman who checked us in had the personality of a slug. I asked him if we had to pay for parking or if there was a garage near by. He immediately said, “I am not paying for your parking”. That is not what I asked then I couldn’t connect to WiFi and he said, “ well it works for me. Yep that was my first interaction. The room: the brand new plug in bathroom didn’t work. The TV was in a weird spot and NO air conditioning. There were 3 fans but in afternoon sun shined in and it got pretty hot. Lastly, the bathroom windows and my daughters room didn’t have screens just opened to a concrete wall
