I've spoken to Jim several times over the phone and finally met him for the first time face to face today. Jim is a really nice guy and funny. Definitely would recommend anyone to come here!!

This is a budget-friendly option, which turned out to be surprisingly good. The room (we had king bed room) was unusually big! Usually you barely can fit between beds, but in this room you could dance. The bed was enormous. There was a table for eating which again was surprisingly convenient and easy to seat at. The room was clean, the staff friendly and there is Albertson next door and a river trail within a walking distance. It is not flashy, but for the price you get a very good stay.

Decent for the price
Friendly environment. My room had a leak on the floor under the sink. Close to where I needed to be but a little dated in the overall decor. Good enough for me but would probably not bring my wife and kids.

There was mold in the shower a old moldy coffee filter left in the coffee pot and the floor was filthy. I asked for a towel and he had a disgusting little dog in his hands when he gave me the towel. Never again. I would rather sleep in my car.
