    Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our stay. The hotel is not in the best area, and our room was not that clean. The bed was uncomfortable, and we were given only two flimsy bath towels for two people staying two nights. To make matters worse, several guests were very noisy at night, making it somewhat difficult to sleep. Overall, it was not a pleasant experience, and we will not be returning.

    Good value for a nice clean room

    First room we got had a floor that was sticky as could be. My sandles would stick and make a squelch noise every time I walked. My wife and son experienced the same. It was the whole room and bathroom. Not inly that all the extra furniture was ao grossly stained it looked horrible. Not only that the credenza under the TV had food still on it. Manager gave me a bad time for asking for a new room because of the lack of cleanliness. New room we got smelt musty and moldy and still had stained furniture. Also the closest door to our room to get in only worked with your card if you hit the lotto. You had to use the center of the hotel entrance to get in the building. Ice machine looked like it had never been cleaned for the life of the building and I gaurantee if you looked inside it is moldy. Smelt the ice and decided to head to safeway and buy our own. Won't stay here again.

    Had a great experience, room was clean and had all the basic amenities. Staff was super nice.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was a decent hotel. The staff was great. There was a bad smell in the room, like a sewer smell. The room was overall decent but definitely needs some updates and a paint job or good cleaning. Comfy bed

    Close to down town, cheap and easy

    Save your money

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Standard beach side older motel quality. Bathroom sink side wood structure needed to be replaced.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was a decent size. There were no screens on the windows. There was a homeless man outside our window yelling repeatedly from 2am til about 330am. Not a do over

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    decent spot for the price. The location is not ideal, but all in all a good option for the budget minded traveler. Biggest negative is very noisy a/c unit.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Clean room and convenient balcony made this stay close to the ocean very nice.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    2/5 stars. Pro: cheap, free parking. Con: old rooms not in great shape, the random unexplained charge to my card a few days after we left. Note we left the place clean, even removing our own linens, and we don’t smoke. Not interested in thieves so this is the last time here.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Love my balcony room … favorite places to stay when in town !

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Parking was a little tight. The site says that there is a coffee maker in the room, not true. Overall, this location was good.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Would rather pay more with better quality amenities. Front desk was rude.
