For a budget hotel this was actually pretty clean and impressive regarding the location especially since there’s a sprouts grocery store right across the street an awesome kebab place right across the street sushi bookstore dollar store CVS and In-N-Out a car wash pretty much anything and everything you would need. It’s a high traffic area and you’ll have to do a lot of U-turns if you drive but all in all it was budget friendly for what we needed. The breakfast was basically just waffles and cereal and some apple juice. The pool is nothing to write home about and you had a nice view of a dilapidated Caribbean restaurant that looks like it’s been through a hurricane, which could be a museum element. The beds were comfortable and clean the shower worked, and despite a little bit of a tricky check-in, the staff were on top of things.

Room was spacious and clean. Lotion sample was old had yellow coloring on it. Tub needs to be replaced or coated. Room walls are too thin, was able to hear next door neighbors and everyone chatting and walking by during the night. Price was good. Location was great, near everything we needed.

Water could be hotter. Was lukewarm water in shower. No towels for pool. Never stayed at a hotel that didn't have linen available all hours. Had a time frame between 8am - 2pm to request linen, towels etc. Totally weird. Good luck if spill something and need linen at 7pm. Staff was friendly. Rooms need updating.

In a great location with lots of places to eat around and close to many activities. Property run down. Sign broken. Drawers without handles. Door does not open properly even saw neighbors having trouble. Paint peeling and various other things of building deteriorating. Broken washer. Room had an unpleasant smell. Breakfast had only a couple of cereals, waffle maker, and juice machine. Fridge was empty. For a place with big sign “free breakfast” this is not what is expected. Overall, shower and bed was fine and that was it. Not what one would expect from a Howard Johnson.
