The Rest Haven Motel is a good motel. It's not far from the beach or the Third Street Promenade (25-30 minute walk). It was also not too loud. The rooms are a bit small, but not too small. While it is an older motel, the rooms are in good condition. I like the courtyard in the back of the motel too. It's relaxing and nice. Motel staff and management are courteous and kind. Thus, I enjoyed my stay at the Rest Haven Motel.

Small room but that is because of the age(1938). It was spotless & smelled fresh & clean. It was quiet & peaceful & a very good price for the location (close to many little cafés & Walgreens a block away).
