This once roadside motor inn has been converted to a gay bath house on steroids many years ago. At least it’s their claim they started in 1987. I can’t say what kind of property it was before then, but all indicators are it was built for a convention hotel back when huge roadside inns existed with meeting facilities. It has multi-level suites (all rented out monthly as housing) and the in-house bars were obviously once convention space. The property is huge compared to most road side inns today.
If you look around, you’ll find the ownership maintains just enough to keep the place open and operating. One entire wing of rooms on the back was closed down and full of junk for many years. Upgrading and updating are two words completely absent from their vocabulary. You’ll get the specified number of beds, in a semi-clean room, and usually everything the room is working. They have a maintenance engineer they can access if something really bad breaks down.
The place exists but for one purpose, and nobody who is looking for a good night’s sleep would go there. People travel here for entertainment, specifically, and for that purpose it does well enough. There are two huge patio areas both fitted with swimming pools.
Everything in the place gives the appearance of being run down but it still works. They don’t charge a lot, so the value you’ll get is acceptable. Two night clubs and a restaurant are housed within, and I’m very sure the dining room food poisoned me on a visit some years ago. (Skip it and go to the drive inn next door, or Denny’s which is just West of you about 1 mi on the freeway.) The upstairs rooms above the lobby are very undesirable. You can walk to virtually all of the night spots that are not within the property, with the exception of a couple which are a low cost cab ride (if you’re sensitive to being arrested for DWI.) The staff has always been friendly and accommodating, but pretty careless with their keeping your tab straight.
Caveat emptor.
Room Tip: Rooms in the main building above the bars stink!
