“For unfussy travelers, this spot offers clean rooms, a friendly staff, and proximity to both the freeway and handy amenities like an ampm. It's a refreshingly unpretentious place, cash-friendly and focused on the basics: a hot shower, a working fridge, and freshly laundered linens. If you value comfort and convenience over frills, this could be a good fit.”
