Our stay here was great. The room was clean and quiet. The front staff I encountered were super friendly and inviting. I love that the room had a little back patio, only thing missing were a couple chairs to sit outside and enjoy the perfect OC weather in. I would absolutely stay here again.

Flew in Friday evening to catch the window only front desk service after 10p (understandable). Front desk was sweet and friendly- appreciated that personality. The facility is clean and remote—it’s on the corner of a freeway exit and closest convenience is the gas station across the street. The room is large and spacious for two. Dated facility but it has its charm in a sunny and close to coastal area. Will stay here again on our next visit Pros -facility is old but has a beach sunny charm - staff is sweet and accommodating - remote but close enough to Dana Point and other sights Cons would probably be: - single waffle machine for breakfast- had one customer prep 2 waffles which is at 2:30m each so they were inconsiderate of others waiting. - no accessible vending machine after hours and the office machine ends at 10p so we are advised to go across the gas station
