Very good location and value
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/31/08
Room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, pool and grounds were clean and maintained every day. We requested a quiet, non-smoking room away from the street and got it. I have allergies and can tell when a room has had a smoker and/or a pet and this was truly a pet-free, non-smoking room, which we appreciated.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Everyone spoke English well. The "Do Not Disturb" and "Maid Service" signs were respected; we're late risers and often left in the late afternoon (when housekeeping has sometimes gone home for the day) but we always returned to a cleaned room which was really nice. The towels were not small, they were the usual white motel towels and were average hand- and bath-sized. The bed was really comfortable.
The black marks another reviewer mentioned were rub marks on the back of the sliding door to the bathroom. They were a little unsightly perhaps but only visible from inside the bathroom and not a big deal. Everything else in the room was really clean and in excellent condition. The decor was well above what I'd expect for a budget motel, it was pleasant and nice to come home to.
Only the heater didn't work very well. We were offered two other rooms but the heaters were pretty marginal in those, too, so we accepted the room we'd originally booked. It was particularly cold and rainy that week so if a warm room is important to you, you might want to bring a little space heater.
We did not have a fridge but we brought a little cooler and had no trouble filling it with ice any time. Couldn't connect to the wireless network the one night we tried although it might have just been that one night as we didn't try at other times.
Disneyland was a short 10-15 minute drive away and Knott's Berry Farm just a few blocks away. There are lots of family restaurants and several churches within walking distance. Breakfast was little danishes and juice, coffee, and tea (coffee and tea were available 24 hours), 6-9AM. The parking lot had decent lighting and the neighborhood was close to the 91 freeway but quiet and safe.
The location and quality were perfect for visiting family, Disneyland, and the beaches. We'll definitely be going back to this motel.
