Although next to the freeway, it’s surprisingly quiet. Room is spacious and has what is necessary. Beds are comfortable and the room appeared clean upon entering. Exactly what i needed for a one night stay before a day at Legoland. I have a toddler and felt safe.

The motel is right next to the highway, so the noise is constant and very loud. The staff service is terrible—three times I was given the wrong key card that couldn’t open my room, and check-in took me 45 minutes from 6 pm to 7 pm. Unless you’re extremely wealthy and just looking to donate money to a terrible motel, stay away.

I like how close it is to the Ocean. The cooler weather because of its close to Pacific Ocean. There seems to be ann expensive mode unlike Motel 6 prices of the past times. That's bad, and insects are in many rooms and the bugs Annoy me when I am trying to sleep. Come See!

The price was cheap. Staff were good but the property was old...and it strongly smelled like mold or marijuana the first night. It looked like there was small patched up spot with black mold in the restroom. I toughed it out for the first night since there wasnt any other rooms available but we all felt sick the next morning. I opened the door to get rid of smell and it seemed to work...the following nights the smell had reduced dramatically. Front office staff were notified and it seemed like the room was cleaned and smell almost removed the 2nd night and on. Alot of people with pets and this lady groomed her animal upstairs and broomed all her hairs to the 1st floor! Disguisting! A little ghetto but thats what happens when you wait till the last minute for a legoland vacation. Legoland was less than 1 mile away and the ocean was close too....Overall I would never stay again if I had a choice....but not a good experience with my kids.....
