I have arthritis. I asked for and got an accessible room with good parking access. The room was set up for WC access so they had removed the door sill. Large bugs were able to come into the room and die and it was gritty with dirt. The shower was set up for WC Access but was not well thought out resulting in damage to the ceiling which had been repaired. The woman who supplied the room said there would only be one bed in there but there were two which wouldn't have worked for a WC user. It was okay for me but I used the hand towels to walk across the floor because the place was gritty. A WC user would not have been able to use the room ironically enough.

Rust at bottom of outer tube. Bathroom door needs replacing. Wifi was fine. comfortable bed. Face cloth was too small (child size). Freezer in fridge did not freeze! Pool was closed due to chemical problem. Chemical should be checked minimum of 2X per day! May decide to stay elsewhere next time in Buttonwillow.

Just keep driving or pick a different motel
The staff both at check in and check out were wonderful but that is the only good thing I can say about the stay. The room seemed to have a lot of water damage. Bathroom door did not close. From the ceiling to the floor there was damage. The seal on the refrigerator was coming off so water from the freezer was dripping out. I was abe to fix the seal temporarily. The road noise was so loud even with window closed and curtains drawn. When leaving found a very large cockroach nice to the A/C unit. The breakfast consisted of two cereals and make your own waffles that is it and there was no butter for the waffle and the Raisin Bran was very stale. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We stayed here for one night which was fine as a stop off to san fran. Pool was really dirty and closed at 5pm when we arrived which was a shame as it was very hot. Room was run down, bedding had cigarette burns in sheet/blanket. Room was clean though. We paid minimal for it and was ok for a stop over. Staff were nice, breakfast was ok, 2 cereals, OJ and waffles - coffee available all day.

It was a motel 6 with a Vagabond sign. The tv didn’t work and sink/bathroom area needs Sheetrock repair and paint. The “breakfast “. Was a waffle maker, cereal (Frosted Flakes) and juice. But there was no butter….. zero protein options making only coffee for diabetics
