Simple room. The rooms were very clean, with wood laminate flooring. For an older motel, it was maintained well and looks like the rooms were recently remodeled. We were only three blocks from the beach! I would definitely stay there again.

My room was clean, there was convenient parking, & I found a few places to eat near by. The room was very basic definitely a traveler place for work or on the inexpensive lay your head down & sleep & keep going. The bed was so firm, the owner was kind, i bought food & had no cutlery he provided me w/some. I was on business & didn't want to break the bank so I opted for here it suited the purpose. I stay again for work if traveling.

Very good find in a quiet neighborhood. The gentleman at the front desk was very helpful. The room was a good size. Nice and clean. The amenities in the bathroom were great. With a light up mirror which was very nice. The shower was great pressure with plenty of hot water. The bed was very firm. I’m has a king so there were enough comfortable pillows. There was a very yummy Mexican food truck right across the street.

Check in was quick and easy and the guy was friendly and helpful. The room was clean with free wifi, A/C, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and blow dryer, but it could use some TLC. There was about a 1" gap at the bottom of the door which required a couple of towels to block, but we saw no bugs anyway. The bed wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good either. We had an ADA room (we didn't require one, but I guess it was all they had) so the bathroom was a little bigger and the shower was at floor level with a removable bench. Water pressure was weak and there is no counter in the bathroom, just a sink below the window. There is also no fan in there so you have to open the window to clear the steam unless you like it humid in your room. There were no paper cups for the coffee, just plastic bathroom cups, but they worked. Parking is very tight. If you are towing, you'll have to find street parking, and there isn't much of that, but it's free! It's close to food and gas.
