Perfectly Okay for one night
Important to know: the hotel is next door to an In-n-Out Burger, which makes it a bit busy to get in. Moreover, if this will bother you, it’s across the street from a cemetery, but that makes it quiet on one side, at least. We just wanted an inexpensive, decent place to shower and sleep and this did fit the bill. The pool and spa looked very inviting, but we were exhausted. Our shower/tub faucet would not shut off (we told the front desk upon checkout) and there was a huge, dead palmetto bug inside the bathroom light/blower (forget to tell the front desk that), but those were my only complaints. Yes, the property is old with some cosmetic blemishes; however, it was decent.

Hottub | The Ultimate Amenity
The hot tub was the perfect temperature.

Safe Place to Crash, Dine, & Dash, so Relax
Hottub was just the right temperature to get the job done. The room was older, but clean, and I was able to get a decent nights sleep. In fact, it was comfortable enough for me to have trouble getting out of bed.

Not worth the money charged
The landscaping was beautiful. The pool was nice. The room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. The beds had burn holes in the blankets and stained pillows and bedding. Pealing paint and ill repaired drywall and doors. You could see daylight through the edges of the door. Dirty walls, floor-boards. Missing tv remote, called office and they said look behind the dresser. Found the remote and it barely worked on the tv for the few selected cable channels available. Beds felt like sleeping on a creaky, wooden box. Pillows felt flat as soon as you laid your head on them and did not bounce back up after sitting all day! The room was freezing and the "thermostat" was turned up to heat and it never got warm in the 2 days we were there. Iron burns and stains on the ironing board. Dusty/dirty appliances. Cruppled tissues pushed back into the tissue box. The shower head was not placed for taller people and bad water pressure. Dirty vents. Unable to add photos sorry.

Check in was great. The lady was super nice. Got to the room and it’s soooo out dated. The floors are that fake wood and they are lifting to where you have to wear shoes or it hurts. The bathroom was not cleaned. Their was hair in the shower and the towels were stained. The bed are like bricks and so loud to where you can’t even move with out it being so loud. The walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors taking a shower. The pipes are so loud.

Excellent Value Hotel... Highly Recommend
Friendly fast check-in. Clean room, nice comfortable bed with crisp bedding. Micro, fridge & coffee maker in room. Large clean pool and pool area, with plenty of comfortable loungers, some are padded wicker. Also, tables and chairs in pool area. Loads of your regularly eating places all with in really close distance, 3 or 4 are only minutes walk. A reall nice good value hotel... would highly recommend as a central base from Oceanside to Santa Monica 👌👍👏

6/10 Good

Room was nice sized. No control for the AC, only an on/off switch. Upon check in I had to pay a $50 (supposedly refundable) deposit and then was charged for the stay before getting keys or room number. Was not aware of this (still haven’t been refunded $50 deposit). Woman working the front desk wasn’t very fond of talking so my questions were met with a smile and a nod. Pool and hot tub area looked nice, we never used it but it was nice to see. My husband found hair in the shower before using it. TV was tiny, large fridge for a hotel room, microwave was low power so the few things that we needed to use it for took longer (nbd), floors were nice except a piece chipped off during our stay, lights next to the bed still had plastic wrap on them (complete with sticker that read to remove plastic wrap before use because it’s probably a fire hazard). Just few things. We just needed a place to keep our stuff and rest between activities around town. I think I would stay elsewhere next time.
