It was fine: The guy at the front desk was nice, and the room was pretty clean. It's definitely a motel, and I had extremely loud (i.e. screaming) neighbors for my single-night stay. This is definitely not a "destination"-type property, this is an "affordable and decent for a single night"-type property.

The staff here is very nice. The rooms are clean and I love the tile they have chosen. You can tell the rooms have recently been upgraded. Its quiet at night and in a great walkable location. Its my 2nd stay here this week. I will come back.

The room was clean, and new towels were provided on our second day without asking. You could hear the street noise from the room, but I actually enjoy the hum so I slept great. Very comfy bed and pillows, FANTASTIC water pressure - it was like getting a massage which rocked after a long day of hiking on Channel Islands.

We stayed for a night. It suited our purpose just fine. Its an old motel, nothing fancy. The rooms appear to have been updated. Our room was clean with nice size tv. We did not venture much around the area, but looked safe enough and not far from the beach. We took reviewers advice and got take out from the Thai restaurant across the steeet. It was very good.

Overall, a nice stay. Check in at desk was easy and service great. As one other person mentioned, there was a pretty powerful odor of some sort of disinfectant. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Water in shower was powerful and very hot, excellent for me. Everything was quiet. No noise from other tenants. My room faced the road so some road noise. Ordered dinner from Moons Thai across the street - very good.

The poor appearance is unwelcoming, the rooms are very small. The property is right on the main street a lot of car noise and I did not see a pool or Jacuzzi, which it was advertised on the website. I wouldnt stay there again

24 hr trip for nephew's football game. Only real complaint is that the floors were not swept at all. Room's floor was covered in crumbs and other debris. The rest of the room was clean and served its purpose for one night.
