The staff were wonderful, friendly and very welcoming. Love the way they have decorated the rooms. Ours had a beautiful sun painted on one wall with a road which looked like it was going right into it. A great 50/60’s feeling throughout.

This hotel is very cute and trendy. They have gone in and revamped an older style motel and did such a nice job. The staff was very friendly especially the coffee barista named Skye I believe. Included with our room was a $10 voucher to the coffee bar/eatery, which we really enjoyed, the coffee was great! The rooms are a bit smaller than we expected and the bathroom was still outdated, however the shower was fantastic. We got the King+ room which meant we were right by the pool. This is great if you want to be a part of the action as they turn on the music right when the pool opens at 9am, however this can be a bit too noisy if you are looking to sleep in. All rooms are the same size so just consider your location when choosing to go with the "+" room or not. The hotel is located very close to the freeway and the back side of it I believe even faces it, so something to consider with the room choice as well (pool is on the front side so not facing the freeway). You can see the ocean from the front/side of the property which is great. They also have beach cruisers for your use but we didn't take advantage of this although thought it was a nice touch. Overall this property was very great and we enjoyed our overnight stay. We came down for a concert at the North Island Amphitheater and found this to be a great location. We would definitely stay here again.

Not in the best part of town, yet still felt safe. Everything is clean and you can tell it was just renovated. Love all the thoughtful amenities, reminded me of taking road trips with my parents in the 70’s and staying in motels like this. Beds are the most comfortable I have slept on, overall no complaints at all, we will stay here again for sure!
