check in with a friendly staff and also got directions on how to find good restaurants and things to do while my stay there. Thank you very much Maria...

How about towels on a rack on a wall opposite the shower? A room with only a few outlets so you need to unplug lamps to plug in your computer? A room with no cups and no back-up roll of toilet paper? How about calling the front desk repeatedly and never getting an answer (the night of 1-28-12)? How about being allergic to cigarette smoke and being put on the 3rd-/no smoking floor which reeks of smoke? How about crude employees? How about windows so dirty you can't see out of them? How about paying a hefty price and paying an arm and a leg for Internet which doesn't work and keeps disconnecting? Yup. Probably not even suitable for hookers and meth dealers. YUP

We were waiting for our house to close escrow and put in notice at our apartment a little too early and we were homeless for several months. That was a bummer, but we stayed at this little budget hotel several times over the course of our 8 months of living in a hotel/motel. The price was phenomenal. We looked in to staying at an extended stay hotel and this was a much better value.

The staff was very friendly and always oohed and awed over my daughter (3) and son (1). The rooms were extremely clean and we always had good maid service. They even include a little continental breakfast in the morning (orange juice and muffins). I like the area of Buena Park it is in. It is in the same parking place as a local chain called Paul's Place. Very yummy. There is a Mc Donald's and a Hoff's Hut that we would meet friends at to eat dinner.

I do have some suggestions that would make this place a little more comfortable and appealing. They need to NOT charge for internet. Portola Inn, right down the street, is just a little bit more a night and they have free internet and breakfast. Portola Inn also gives multnight discounts and they have a fridge and microwave in every room. If you do the math, that makes Portola Inn a better value. Sometimes Portola Inn would only be 10 dollars more a night. There beds are way too hard. My back hurt from sleeping on them. The rooms could use a little facelift. It is a little drab. It would not take much to spruce up the room a little bit.

Like I said, it is a cheap budget motel. You get what you pay for, but I think some of their competitors have them beat in categories they can easily fix. This definitely would not be a place for everyone.

Thank you for reading.

We stayed in a total of 6 different motels on our recent vacation, and liked the Good Nite Inn the best. It was sqeaky clean, with new carpet, and very comfortable new beds. We paid more and got less at some other motels. I would recommend this place to my family & friends.
