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

4/10 Fair

Clean room but horrible druggy motel

The room was fine but we were next to druggies. The lady was on the phone late at night and early in the morning fussing, cussing and yelling and also yelling at a guy with her. Horrible. I guess that’s what you pay for. If you’re trying to budget, expect those kinds of people there. Seems like they stay there for awhile.

The rooms were spacey, and they had spacious bathrooms.

2/10 Poor

Very disappointed.

The information given about the hotel was very deceiving. There was no hot coffee or tea provided in the lobby all day, long or in the evening. cheap coffee was provided in the room. The bed was so uncomfortable. You can feel the springs The rooms smelled like cigarettes and marijuana. The rooms were so outdated. The outlets did not work in the bathroom and the bedroom area. I had paid all the fees for the hotel room, but the hotel receptionist charge me the fees again. The location was excellent very close to the beach.

Inn has a swimming pool. Place is old but still decent and the room has a microwave and a frig. It is decent because it has the basic amenities for a stay.

Javier, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Very bad

Not safe, not family friendly. People staying at the hotel are smoking marijuana in the parking lot. It seems most of the people staying at this hotel are living there long-term. Lobby door appears to be permanently locked and you have to do your service through a sliding window. When we checked out I had to ring the button for service and the man helping us was in his pajamas at around 9am. Starting at 3:00 a.m. people were playing on their phone in the outdoor hallway. They were playing games very loudly till 6:00 a.m. I'm assuming they were homeless because there were several homeless people hanging around the property. Someone could not pay me to stay at this hotel again. It's dangerous it's not safe. There were toenails clippings on the floor inside. The heating air conditioner unit was making an extremely loud noise so we could not use it. Every single step on the stairs is cracked broken and uneven. It's dangerous to walk upstairs. There is no elevator

10/10 Exceptional

Affordable Stay with Room for Improvement

I found this place to be very affordable, and overall, it was a great experience. The only concern I had was a noticeable smell of cigarettes, which could be improved by implementing a no-smoking policy. Aside from that, it felt safe and welcoming. Considering the price, it was definitely a worthwhile stay!
