I only stayed 1 night, per my original plans; they granted my advance request thru Booking.com for room on 2nd floor. I never used my laptop (only my M. phone on the network), so I didn't bother trying the WiFi, if they had any. Rates are low as advertised; this is brown-bag, no-frills lodging; almost anything can be put up with for a night. Used earplugs to sleep well due to room / Motel next to Hwy. 101; bed firm but comfy, sheets, towels, & shower stall clean; but bring your own fave shampoo, conditioner, lotion, & food/drink to eat in. No mini-fridge, microwave oven, or coffeemaker. Fan in bathroom exhausts damp air with light on. Used AC unit on fan-alone mode only, to circulate & freshen air about room; kept window locked shut & curtains drawn for privacy & noise/light reduction, which worked well for helping sleep.
