Nice Place but they need to take better care of it

This place needs a lot of work, the staff are friendly place is nice on the outside, but this place needs an upgrade. And a deep clean. As soon as I opened the door the room had a damp feeling, and I instantly knew bugs. Moved the microwave a layer of dust not a big deal but showed the cleaning effort of the place, moved on to the refrigerator and under it as infestation of cockroachs. That too not a big deal but if i was going to stay three nights I would need to treat the room. Went to home depot got some bug treatment and cleaning spray and a tarp to sleep on. Cleaned everything doors bathroom, and table scrubed every nook sprayed should have got a discount for the amount of work i did, but whatever, after the deep clean I felt comfortable enough to sleep and had a very pleasant stay.

Very lovely botique hotel in the middle of a questionable area. Effectively operated, reasonably priced, clean and slightly old-timed if not outdated.
Alexander, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The person who checked me in was quite friendly, gentle, and graceful. I genuinely appreciated the clean, warm room on a cold night with temperatures approaching below freezing. I shall visit, again, in the near future, San Carlos Inn.

Great location off of Laurel St. Small but cozy

Great location right off of Laurel St. Very convenient location. within walking distance of well, : everything, Lucky California grocery store, Shell gas station, Jack in the Box and of course all the great botiques and stores up and down Laurel St, including USPS. It's a small but cozy no frills hotel but our room did have brand new carpet, a little refrigerator and a microwave, which was nice to have a cold drink close by and some way to heat up our left overs. The staff here was very friendly which is always a good thing when your in a new location. Long story short, considering the great location and low rates the hotel was perfect and honestly, you can't ask for anthing more.

Construction

Checkin was easy, they are always nice. The only thing is the construction going on right in front of the hotel. Obviously not their fault.
Norman, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It’s a cheap place to stay. Overal a good experience. The AC worked well and the bed was comfy. The neighborhood surrounding seemed safe and quiet, but the bathroom was dirty and had a leaky sink. Around the shower was dirt and hair, and hair inside the tub. One of the sheets was stained as well.

Manager are so friendly and helpful. My daughter used a lot of toilet paper and she help herself to it , they called to let me know and they were so kind about it! The motel is located well but it’s an old motel! My daughter is one ear deaf and she ki d of talking too loud. Thank you and

10/10 Exceptional

The particular room had v notch pine ceilings and fraud beam support. I liked the look, room was clean, bathroom had been updated and was not cramped. The bed was firm for good back support and soft enough that when I relaxed I could feel the tiredness of the day drain into the bed. The carpet should have been replaced 10 years ago it was below the quality of the rest of the room. I entered the room around 3:30 turned the a/c and it cooled down within 1/2 hour. Since my truck is my life while traveling, I am concerned about security. I was parked within10 steps of my door and did not hear much after turning the TV off. Overall very good experience.
