The hotel is dated, but was fantastic for what we needed. Quick walk to the beach. They allowed us to park before and after checkout to go to the beach. On site pool was great. Outdoor shower and bathroom available when coming from the beach. Office lady was super friendly. This is the first place I will check the next time I come back to the area!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked the location across from Jolly Roger, right on the beach, and 30 minute walk to downtown OC. I didn't like the fact that the room had a musty, mildew smell. The AC ran, but never really cooled the room satisfactory. Around the property, there were rust stains, so a good coat of paint could go a long way. It would be nice to offer at least a continental breakfast and fresh coffee. The parking lot is small, but you do have parking in the back of the property. For the location and the price, it's decent for a weekend stay.

Quick Trip

Check-in was quick. Better know how to drive cause the parking lot is tight. Bed itself is comfy but the pillows are flat af. *If you’re traveling with young kids, be mindful that there is no deadbolt on the door. The kids can easily just flap the door handle and escape!* Quick and easy trip to the beach. Not on coastal highway so not too much traffic noise at night.

No elevator! No balcony! Fees if u loose a key. You have a lot of documents to show at check in as well - drivers license or id and all phone numbers. Your car could be towed if it is there past 3:00pm on check out. Bed is hard. Good for one night only. Small.

Overall good experience. Clean room, responsive and helpful staff. The only thing is that the towels have yellowish stains so we did not use them. Please include more shampoo bottles and hand soaps in the room. Willing to return again in the future.
