So my girlfriend and I chose this motel because the much nicer looking Motel 6 (there are two of them by the way, one nice, one crappy) was booked. Luckly since we were only stopping here for a few hours to sleep on our way back to LA we did not have to stay long. Firstly, I have to say the pillows here SUCK! We had to fold them over to put our heads on them and they were still less than half the thickness of a normal cheap pillow. The room was "super small" and the bathroom light didn't work, although the heat lamp did, so going to the bathroom meant baking under a little red sun. Also the check in area is behind bulletproof glass and was festering with moths. Who would want to rob someone here, that is beyond me!

Anyway, avoid Buttwillow at all costs.

PS those signs on the highway saying cheap rooms for like $39.99 are bullshat. The clerk said in a Indian accent, sorry we are sold out of those. Yeah right people are dying to stay here....

The room was tiny, hot and just gross. We didn't want to take our socks off because the carpet was dirty. The only plus was that we were able to get a few hours of sleep before continuing our long drive to San Diego. For what we got, the room should have cost $35, not $60. Don't stay here if you can avoid it.

Many repairs needed in room includung security lock on door.
Worse, they rented room to somrone else while I was resting.
They seemed befeddled when asked to correct above.
Have not heard back about above.

I have stayed here twice on my way up and down the 5 freeway. I have no complaints.

The staff is nice and it's pet-friendly. It was clean and had a refrigerator and microwave for snacks.

I will always stay here if I have to stop in Buttonwillow.
