SERVICE & TRANSITIONS -- 👍 good
Slow checkin but the woman working here seemed friendly. Not friendly enough for a $30 early checkin fee, but friendly...
MVP employees: N/A
ROOM [guest room] -- 👎 poor
FYI: Motel room -- NOT a hotel. Set expectations accordingly for accommodations.
Very few positives other than the immense amount of storage.
negatives:
Not pretty; felt like a partial renovation.
"Dingy"; no dusting or deep carpet cleaning.
Pests 🦟.
Poor lighting.
BED [King] -- 👍 good
Not amazing but surprisingly good considering the state of everything else.
Strong mattress.
Decent pillow build.
Comfortable sheets.
Got good sleep when the other guests weren't talking at their normal volume...
BATH -- 👎 poor
I liked the physical, semi-spacious, dimensions of this areas. Cosmetically it was still an eyesore; very worn.
Some things were new, others were dreary. The budget felt strange...: a beautiful contemporary wash basin, complimented by cheap soap dispensers falling off the wall.
The Mystery Soap doesn't lather easily & housekeeping didn't replace toiletries consistently. Just bring a Beauty Bar.
Fair water pressure & hot temps nearly redeemed the shower experience until I saw how small & dirty the towels were 🤢.
TV/ENT./ACTIVITIES -- 👎 poor
BIG big TV -- in fact, it's too big for this room. There's a lack of air flow with this installation, generating a lot of heat. Cable services periodically drop & the remote buttons rarely register when pressed. Although there are thousands of channels, they were ultimately a chore to navigate.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- 👎 poor
Free, unencrypted, & performs in the expected range for a budget stay. It's poorly tuned, but no packet loss experienced.

FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 ok
The size & design (faux vintage) of the mini fridge was appealing.
They didn't 'splurge' as much on the microwave, but it was functional & both appliances were clean.
Vending machines & ice are accessible from the parking lot.
in-room:
✅microwave (mini)
✅mini-fridge (large)
✅coffee/tea
❌ wet-bar
❌ mini-bar
NOISE -- 👎 poor
Hope for an upper floor because acoustic are a dead. You can hear everything on the other side of these weak doors.
LOCATION -- 👍 ok
In true motel fashion, we're on the side of the road. Functionally not a lot going on in this department.
RECOMMENDATION
Final Price: $127.83
Was it worth it? No.
Best part: fridge
It's hard to find a clean, pest-free, motel in SoCal, and this one was no different. On that note, It's also misrepresented as a hotel. Overpriced considering the effort, but worst of all: another guest found hidden cameras in the room during the time I was staying here.
No go.
1/5 ⭐️
