Very friendly, family run inn. Showed up without a reservation pretty late one night and they accommodated me very quickly for a reasonable price. No complaints.

I think it's family owned, everyone is nice and friendly (spanish speakers). The rooms are clean, spacious, and has an old-school traditional style. Breakfast is not included, but there are great alternative locations like King City Gill or Dennys. Will stay here again if I find myself in the area. Thank you!

Stayed for one night. Basic, family run traditional motel close to highway. Room was clean and everything working, a bit on the small side but ok. Outside well maintained. Would stay again.

Took a road trip up north from LA and Pinnacles National Park was one of my stops, stayed here the night before. Had a great experience. Check-in/check out was easy, the owner was friendly, price was fair, everything worked, and I felt safe while being here. Would recommend to anyone who needs to spend a night out in the area.
