Basic, but cleaner than other cheap places

It was basic, but clean. The owners are old and can come across rude but it's fine, at least it's clean. I was uneasy at first because I had not heard the best things about this location and its safety, but they're doing a good job on the renovations, and it's very affordable.

Not Great. Not Bad. Fair Price.

Not the best part of town. Room was very big and had little. But the price matches this. Beds had crumbs under the sheets, but thats not honestly a concern. It was fine. I would only recommend if someone needed a quick place to stay for sleep.

Place looked like it was abandoned from the road, go around back and it gets even worse. The room had a couch in it that looked like someone had bled all over it and bugs in the bathtub. At night people were setting off fireworks in the middle of the parking lot. 0/10 would never recommend.

Absolutely horrible

Do not stay here. Absolutely disgusting. No mirrors, no wifi, no coffee maker, no refrigerator, no bedside lamp, lock on door wouldnt lock, no english speaking personnel, cigarette burns all over bed sheets and blanket. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

The old facility has been bought out by new management, and they have been working extremely hard to make the appearance of the facility, more inviting, upscale, and livable. On a scale from 1 to 100 I would give them a 75 just because there’s room for growth and they are in a period of transition, so I look forward to the future, adaptations and additions that they will bring to the facility and what it will eventually look like within the next 12 to 25 months. Most of all the renovations are on the inside so the outside of the building still looks the same but the guest rooms look a lot more appeasing and relaxing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The booking was non-refundable. The first room we refused smelled like cigarette smoke with multible burn holes in the bed spread. The room we accepted had no mirror in the bathroom. The bed had no blanket with stained sheets and stained bedspread. Broken desk and soiled couch. We checked out after 4 hours because of truck noise from the freeway. The website pictures did not match the room. One of the worst hotel experiences ever.

I didn’t even stay here through the night. I pulled into the parking lot which was very dark and walked into the “lobby” to check in. There were two people sitting on the couch but no one behind the counter. When I walked in the man got up and went behind the counter to check me in. Didn’t have any of my reservation details correct. Assigned me to a room then assigned me to a different room. By this point I had decided I really wasn’t comfortable staying here but decided to go check out the room as I had been traveling all day and was exhausted. I open the door, get hit with a huge overwhelming smell of smoke and look down to see 5 or 6 roaches running around. I immediately threw the key on the bed, shut the door and left. Paid money to stay somewhere else for the night.

You get what you pay for.

You get what you pay for! Neighborhood seemed nice but the hotel area was sketchy. People loitering around outside lobby and once we went to bed (around 11 pm) men were yelling and it just seemed scary. Sheets were clean, water was hot, beds were comfortable, it was just the atmosphere that was not good.

Express what?

Good stay, new owners have done well with remodeling it and making it look nice. Slept good. Place was quieter than expected which is always a plus. The $65 a night is way too high of a cost for a room with no amenities at all.. Just basic everything. Except no ice machine!!! And a microwave outside for community use. where they do that at?? EXPRESS INN. Surprisingly no bugs! So thanks for that

It had the amenities of a prison cell. No chair, the only light came from two overly bright ceiling fixtures. No ice machine available. Not a single place to hang clothes. (no "door-hooks", coat hanger bar etc.) "Non-smoking" room stunk of cig. smoke. I would leave the door open as long as I could upon arriving each day in an attempt to "air-it-out". No carpet and floor was sticky. Do NOT walk around bare-footed ! On the "good" side, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom had new fixtures, and the "help" was pleasant, although English is obviously NOT their primary language. Needless to say this is on my "NEVER-Stay-there-Again" list even if the price was free!
