Very cute, retro motel just up from Le Chene French restaurant on Sierra Highway. Don't expect modernized amenities - almost everything is original, including the tile showers. But even the basic rooms have microwaves, small refrigerators and back doors that lead out to the hills behind. Rates are inexpensive ($225 to $300 a week) and there are separate bungalows as well at $250 per week that have FULL kitchens with cabinetry and appliances. I live just down the road, and recommend it highly to visitors to the area who would like a safe place to stay that will take them straight back to historic Santa Clarita on Route 6. There are local small farm vegetable stands nearby, several locally-owned and operated tiny markets and a wonderful breakfast/lunch diner called 'The Halfway House'. Just a bit further up Sierra, operating vineyards line both sides of Route 6. Absolutely charming. The new managers are very sweet, friendly and helpful.
