For one this is a boutique style for a budget motel with the exception of the location of course but it works just fine. Room rates are affordable and reasonable too. Trust me it can be a hit or miss when choosing a place to stay and I have regretted staying in a few run down places with terrible management who cannot control unruly guests on many business travels but I have been pleasantly surprised at this particular property I haven't seen any guest with behavioral issues during my stay. The manager is very protective & takes great pride and good care of the grounds keeping it nice & clean (which should be the case with any hotel establishment) and there is night security person on the premises for your protection so you feel safe. Housekeeping is nice and helpful too. The rooms are nice & clean, bed is comfortable, rooms have large micro, fridge and big wall tv. There is a lovely serene rose garden surrounding the property and courtyard too which is great for calming, relaxing and meditating. No yelling, no fights and no police presence which is good considering the area. It's been quiet and peaceful.

The front desk clerk is so friendly and cheerful. Overall, the hotel is very nice- it is well maintained and has lots of security cameras. There are lovely rose bushes and plants all around the property. The rooms are nice- a little older but the bathrooms have been recently remodeled and are nicely tiled. The bed could have been a bit more comfortable but overall one of the nicer hotels in Vallejo in its price range.

Good location. Mediocre but clean room and awesome service from the front desk. Inexpensive rooms and no deposit charged. All other hotels and motels charge atleast a $100 deposit (cash or card) when getting a room. Small renovations going on during the day including landscaping and painting, but these projects are no bother to guest.

Rooms were clean. I like the fact that each room has a full refrigerator/freezer and microwave. The ac/heater worked well, and nice size flat screen TV with your basic dish cable service and hbo. The wifi wasn't that strong, in fact I used my mobile network, it was a lot faster. Rooms are reasonable at $99 with no deposit.

My experience here was great because of the staff. They made the difference. Alfi is great. This is an older motel that has been upgraded, or fixed up. It was a surprisingly good stay. Quiet and clean. No pool, no hot tub. While next to I-80, I heard no traffic noise. The bed was clean and I slept just fine. The room came with a refrigerator and a microwave. I gave 4 stars for the room because there is a slight cigarette smell coming from places unknown; it might be from the bathroom vent, not sure.

Clean room, good service,professional employees. The day manager saved our trip with a fast fix for a room. overnight on-site security personnel is above standard and seemingly unique to the area. Couldn't recommend it enough if your on a budget
