Good stay

Nice area with electric car charging. Good price. Heavy smell of mold but we’re close to the beach so nothing can really be done about that. Shower water pressure was ok for about 5 minutes then turned to a trickle. Was very hard to take a shower. The water was soft water so that was good. No homeless or questionable people hanging out or around. Pretty good atmosphere. Shower door had a large hole in it but that did not affect my stay. Overall good stay for the price of $97 a night.
Dirty ice bucket
Door needs to be painted
Needs paint

2/10 Poor

We were unable to stay as it felt very unsafe for us as well as our vehicle. It was also disgustingly dirty and run down.
Daria, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Live and learn

Furniture old and needs updating, bed smelled like bleach, shower had no water pressure or ever got hot, WiFi didn’t work, tv reception was poor, if you just need cheap, quick overnight, but I stayed for week and I wasted my money, pay extra a get cancelation ability just in case, or pay for the good hotels, I think the bargain isn’t one

Everything was clean and quiet. Good stay
Taishyo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Motel not hotel, but clean and affordable!

Courteous service, great price, close to shopping and not far from the beach. This is a motel like place, not a hotel. So clean but old, no special services you might expect at hotels vs motels.
Edgar, 1-night trip

Didn't like anything. Condition of the property was terrible, overpriced rooms, super hard uncomfortable beds, things falling apart and rusty. Pool unusable.

The rooms were spacey, and they had spacious bathrooms.
