Close to restaurants, grocery stores, mall. About 13 minute drive to the beach. Continental breakfast good. NICE POOL Area. Room clean but outdated. Curtains smelled like smoke. Had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker which was great. I booked the room through Expedia for one night. Decided to book one more night. The desk clerk told me that I would have to pay an extra $10 to stay an extra night because I was there before the 3 pm check in. To them it's a new booking and check-in is at 3. Any check in before is an extra fee. All other hotels we've stayed at with Expedia just let you pay right on line. Easy but not this hotel. We had to leave at 11 and check in at 3.

Cheap and conveniently located with in &out in parking lot. Pretty sure I didn’t get deposit back while solo and kept room clearered. Base boards filthy. Walls filthy. Will stop there. Checked out early came back cause work called me back. Still charge deposit and early check in, she asked for my previous room number and got same room with our room being made up or towels. Cool in a pinch. Don’t ever bring your family or a girlfriend here going to Disney land. One last thought is it was chilly and the heater didn’t work. Receptionists played ignorant and said flip the switch.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Horribly rundown motel that has needed renovation for decades! Vinyl flooring lifting and missing pieces. Vanity sink had rust all around it. Sink and tub needed new caulking. Smelled like cigarette smoke. Bed was super hard and pillows old and lumpy! No extra blanket, ironing board, iron or hairdryer! Felt like we were in the projects! Breakfast was all carbs (cheap pastries, cereal whole apples & oranges) with no protein items, not even real creamer but powdered junk for coffee. The only positive was it is located around services and In-n-Out Burger was accross the parking lot. Large families were literally cooking in their rooms with camp stoves with their doors open right in their doorways (appeared to be homeless). Not a safe feeling establishment!
