Some of the kindest people I have ever met. The staff is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I have stayed there many times. I would recommend this place to anyone

Used to live here for about 2 years back in 2015 with my mom when we had nowhere else to go but a homeless shelter. It wasn’t perfect, which was fine, but it was convenient and across the street from the Grocery Outlet, a couple bus stops, and a couple Asian eateries just a couple minutes away. To the old couple who helped us out and allowed us to live here: thank you.

I love this place. I have stayed here so many times (due to a unhealthy relationship that was way past its expiration date) and every time I checked in the ladies in the office always lifted my spirits and made me feel safe and cozy and welcome. It meant the world to me and honestly gave me what I needed to pull myself together, and get on my feet again. It's clean and cozy and I would much rather spend money to stay here with real caring people that truly look out for your well being, rather than spend it at some other big chain motel where the bed might be nicer, but the people are hollow and the smiles are fake. The New horizon owner ladies are my awesome angels, and any rating any less than that is incorrect information
