This property is a real gem. Although the dimensions of the room were smallish, the added interior design touches were very nice, a surprise considering that the room costs a lot less than other area accommodations. Who expects a coved ceiling in a motel room or tiled shower? The owner has installed huge arrays of solar panels on all three roofs, which he is working with PG&E to activate. He also plans to have EV charging stations on the property in the future. It may be called the Economy Inn but it feels like much more.

Could use a box of tissue paper in the rooms, a small quibble.

overall property was nice. Though obviously an older property, and not part of a chain, it felt like it was well cared for, clean, well maintained. almost a soft boutique feel to it.

Room had no phone, which seemed odd to me. Granted, most of us always have a cell phone, but still, just seemed odd… Also, the one request I made, asking for fresh towels, never received. Happened to see the desk clerk I made the request to as I was checking out, he made a point of saying he ‘had the towels at the desk for me’. Now if I asked for fresh towels as I was going out for the day, wouldn’t the logical assumption be to deceiver them to the room?????

I have been here multiple times and I keep coming back because it's small, quiet, clean, clearly well run, and walking distance to multiple places to eat. It's a 10-minute walk to "downtown" which is super modest but a charming stroll if you have some time on your hands. Water pressure is fab!

Yikes this is a tough one because it's such a good fit and because usually I am just there the one night (2x per year, coming and going) :-) My room is always on the smaller side which is fine for me but even a couple might collide in there. I am presuming they have bigger rooms but have never seen one. I have never had daily housekeeping service and have never been offered it but maybe it's upon request. But again I have never had need for it.

I have stayed here several times, it's on my California to Oregon route. Family owned & operated. It's on a busy street but the property itself is set back from the street so it's quiet. Very close to downtown and walking distance to varied food choices.

The main reason I like it there is, it's a good fit for me. I travel solo, only want to park a few feet from my room, and I hate stairs. This place checks all those boxes. But, some might find it super limited. The rooms are very small, fine for one but even two would be challenging. Not particularly well lit, there are no lamps, just an overhead light so reading is tough. I didn't want/need housekeeping, and I did see a housekeeper in the parking lot, but no one ever mentioned or offered me housekeeping so maybe you need to request it if you want it.

2nd visit: Property is maintained with obvious pride by the family owners. Very hospitable and kind to pets. Best is the lack of any issues: everything was clean, user-friendly, well-maintained, I particularly noticed this second stay that the bed and pillows were very comfy, a/c was easy to operate and very effective, the office icemaker was operating well, the frig in the room was efficient and froze ice, the plumbing/hot water was optimal, and the perk of having a 40" tv with extensive programming makes this my go-to stop on the Interstate 5. Great value with all their elaborate decor and lovely gardens. Even on a Friday night with a room close to their main street, the noise level was unexpectantly not bad. Kudos to this family for pride in their establishment.

For the value, this was as good as it gets.

Room had everything I needed (refrig. and microwave). Bed was fine. Great chairs.

There were one on two insects in the bathroom (small crawling things: one on floor; one on shower curtain. Also, refrig. made too much noise for me when it cycled on. I had to uplug it so I could sleep. Was helpful that the plug was easily accessible.

Manager was super personable. I had a last-minute schedule change (was only supposed to stay 1 night but requested 2 more when I checked in and they were able to accommodate). Room was small, one of the smaller motel rooms I have experienced, but I included that here in the "Like" box because it was nicely decorated and big enough for me flying solo. If you are traveling with someone you'll be bumping into them.

The motel is on a very busy street, it's actually the Main Street in town (though a totally different street is named Main Street, in Los Banos they do things a bit differently). :-) It's set back slightly off the street but it's loud. (I carry a white noise machine with me when I travel so I was fine, but noise-sensitive travelers may have issues here.)

Adorable presentation: color, plants, furniture. Very helpful staff. Really nice bathroom. Plenty of surfaces to put things on.

Would have been good to have a light in the closet alcove.

This motel has been upgraded and very nice. Staff was very friendly.

Unfortunately, the street noise from the trucks using the street is high. But.... This place is so nice, i'm gonna give them another try. Maybe a room further from the street would help.

Friendly and welcoming proprietor. Good location on main road, so close to places to eat etc. But can hear traffic noise, although wasn't a problem to us.

It was what we expected, so no real issues.
