I will say this hotel is pretty basic but one of the better hotels for the cheaper price for when you're staying in Ridgecrest. I visit often, and I usually stay at this hotel even before they remodeled and changed it. The remodel is nice and definitely of better quality than last year. It is a smaller hotel too and on the corner of town so you don't have to worry about too much traffic noise in the evenings and night. This time, when I visited, the gentleman who checked me in, bless him, I don't remember his name. He is so sweet and gave me a discounted price for my pet, especially because he recognized me from previous visits. He is always pleasant and helpful when I come to stay. I did have one incident where one of the maids entered the room when I had a DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging outside the door. Luckily, my spouse was in the room with our furbaby. However, we did not bring a kennel for her for a 1/2 day trip. He didn't understand why she entered when the sign was hanging and was very upset. She didn't knock or state her entry either.

Renovation work was being done but it didn't bother me during my stay. The location was not the most convenient along a diagonal street near a major corner intersection in town, making access a bit difficult but it was ok. I had a large room with a large TV, and there was a separate vanity from the bathroom area. The room had a mini-fridge (though it didn't include a freezer compartment), microwave, coffeemaker, and iron and board, plus a desk and chair. When I first got to the room I noticed the smell of whatever cleaner had been used there but it either went away after awhile or I got used to it and didn't notice it. The A/C worked well though it was noisy. The included breakfast options were fairly standard but fine for me - coffee, tea, juice, cereal, mini-muffins, bagels, toaster waffles, granola bars. There were signs of wear at the motel exterior but my room was clean and appeared to be well-maintained (though the liquid soap dispenser at the vanity sink was empty). Staff was friendly and efficient, and the price seemed a...
