It is a charming motel in a beautiful setting with fresh flowers in... More

This place is a great deal, comfortable and clean. From the beginning it was an extremely positive experience, from the rooms to the gentleman who owns the place the motel was warm and inviting. I highly recommend it, anyone that says otherwise is crazy!

This place, while somewhat charming on the outside, painted in bright blue, bright red and white with funky painted five-gallon cans filled with shrubs and stuff, IS A DUMP!! Our room had a bed (ok but not great), a bed-side table that was falling apart, a chest with the fronts of all the drawers falling off. Nothing else; not even... More

Clean and tended to daily by maidservice. Appropriate help from owner and manager on parking, noise levels etc. given the regular inflow of young European travelers. Would recommend and will return. Busy Pico but mellow suburbs just block away.

The motel was mostly clean and fairly well kept for it's age. There seemed to be a lot of live-ins on site. The major problem I had with this hotel was the couple next door fighting at midnight and someone else locking their teenager out of the room who then proceeded to bang on the door quite loudly. Noise moved... More

When we checked in, the queen we had reserved was not ready yet, so we were given a king at no extra charge. Although the Fodor's description says non smoking, there were ash trays in the room, and the smell of smoke. The freshly painted room had a bed, dresser, and 2 plastic lawn chairs. The bed was the hardest... More
