Travel tips
Plan on driving: guest feedback notes the motel is not easily accessible by public transit, and the property is about 2 miles from I‑10 for regional access. Confirm deposit and payment expectations at check-in, as reviews mention a cash deposit requirement. If you’re sensitive to TV content or prefer specific amenities, verify in advance since guests report adult channels and note missing items like hair dryers or small towels.
