The room is comfortable, spacious, and clean. It has everything you need: a refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee maker. It’s a 3-minute walk to the ocean. There’s a 7-Eleven nearby. But if you go to bed early and wake up late, this place isn’t for you, since the train won’t let you sleep—it’s very loud and runs every 10 minutes. Overall, the area is pretty boring unless you’re a surfer))

Located just a couple of blocks from the beautiful beach with an Irish pub Nextdoor. 3 stories and no elevator. The bed and pillows were comfy and our car did not get broken into while parked overnight in the hotel’s lot in back. This hotel is old but clean. The front desk is manned 8am to midnight.

First off the place has limited parking. First come first serve. Don’t park in the corner spot or you will get blocked in and can’t get out. Three stories and not Handicap friendly. Rooms are large and come with a tv, internet, coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave. Room was clean but could use some attention to detail. Meaning clean baseboards and food on wall. My coffee maker did not work and staff quickly addressed the issue. Loud noise from tram going by day and night. While at night it was loud also from patrons at the bar on the corner. Beautiful ocean view from windows. I would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. Very affordable with friendly staff.

It gets 5 stars not because its a 5-star motel (motel not hotel) it gets 5-stars because location wise and time of year it was a great value and reasonable overall price for an outer sunset place to stay during new years. Walking to java beach every morning brings me back

For a low cost hotel, very clean, rooms have been redone and very nice for cost. Parking is limited. The one issue we had was the bar in nextdoor. Band started playing after 10 and got extremely loud until very late.

Spotless is a stretch but it was clean enough. I checked in very late (2AM) so had to pound on the window and ring the bell for 15 minutes before the agent appeared but I understand it was late and he was sleeping. Otherwise it was fine and well-situated near the beach. Price was fair.
