Solid budget choice for fishermen

Good budget choice for this area! It's basic, and you get what you need, and nothing more, nothing less. Freindly staff and helpful.

Property is visibly older but very well maintained, clean and equipped with all the modern day conveniences (fridge, microwave, coffee station, wifi). Its just off one of the surface streets so once or twice we could hear traffic but not in any way disruptive. Right off the freeway, perfect. Pricing was perfect for us. If you're looking for reasonably priced, convenient location with basic essentials this is a good spot. But if you're looking for bargain basement pricing with Ritz Carlton accommodation, keep looking. This place has charm and character and met our needs perfectly.

I rated this room as 5 stars while keeping the price of the room in mind. I paid $99 + tax and got a clean functional room with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV with basic cable, an air conditioner, and two very comfortable queen sized beds. It's a great deal for the price. So often I see reviews where people pay a low price for a room and then complain they're not staying in a $250 room. I've learned to ignore these clueless individuals. In short, if you want a clean room with basic amenities and friendly staff, you've come to the right place. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be sure to stay here again. I rate this place is excellent!

Liked: Amenities
It’s clean and comfortable. My only issue was that I booked the room on one card, and had intended on charging the room to another card. Expedia told me the card I used to reserve the room would not be charged. When I got there to put the room on my company card they had already charged my personal card. Not that big a deal…just not what I was told would happen. Other than that the place was cleaned and comfortable with good amenities.

Health department should shut down this place

I didn’t stay. I checked in, then saw the condition of the room, with dead bugs on the floor and bedding. Floor was stained. At 10pm the room was extremely hot and stuffy because AC was left off on a hot day. I rejected the room and went to another motel (Super 8).
