8.0
Nice, cheap price. The lady in the office is really nice and considerate. There are family units in the upper area. The only bad thing is that you have to leave after 3 weeks in order to stay longer. It's great bc of its closeness to Foods Co and other shops and Foothill Square. It's also close to the I-580.
8.0
Excellent value for money, if you’re looking for a comfortable stay with no high expectations but just a nice stay, this can be the perfect motel.
