The only good thing about this hotel is that it is within walking distance to the beach and main 101 strip. Other than that, the pool is green and closed, rooms are dirty and outdated and it feels very unsafe for solo travelers.

There have long been rumours of an upgrade to the property, but it never seems to materialize. Place is getting worse & worse. Mold, funk, & non-existent maintenance. Maybe time to knock it all down & build from the ground up.

This is the worse Days Inn I have ever stayed in. It was a dump. The 1st room they gave me already had a guest in it. The 2nd room was right next to construction my room. Literally pounding on my wall till 6p. The room had exposed light bulb in the bathroom. A power cord with frig,microwave and tv plug into it. The ac cord had a bag over to prevent getting wet. The room stunk real bad. The next day they finally gave me a room upstairs. It was ok but stunk & carpet was gross. The pool was a joke& the breakfast was pkg oatmeal or apple or orange. Embarrassing Do not stay there unless desperate Staff did there best

Location is excellent for food and entertainment. It is close to many fine restaurants and grocery stores. The hotel was under construction. It seemed to me that they are in the process of rennervating the rooms. The room I was in was very dated. I could tell the staff does a fine job cleaning. However, the carpet, drapes, walls seemed to have 20 years of use. I found the mini fridge iced over and not working. I used the first day defrosting it. It worked well the next three days. The microwave was dirty, and the inside was rusted out. I choose to use takeout and use the fridge for my beverages. I have to put this experience in the you go what you paid for. The price was reasonable and considering I was using the room for showers and sleeping, I feel I got what I paid for. I would love to visit the site again after the renovations as the staff was excellent.

Orher than being close to the beach, restaurants and shopping, the room had cracks in the ceiling, walls and the bathroom shower was completely leaking into the bathroom floor when showering. Had to use towels to keep it from flooding. Never ever staying there again. This place should not be operating with the rooms they had. They were disgusting. It is a garbage hole.

Good location and needs some renovations

The location was great, as it was cclose to the moonlight beach (2 to 3 blocks away). Also, a great grocery store (similar to Whole Foods).and other eateries and shops are right accross thebstreet from the hotel. However, the room itself, was not the best. The first room smelled like clorox. The smell was so strong, they had to switch the room for us. Also, overall room, carpet, bathroom, etc. Just felt like it needed a makeover. I mentioned to the front desk attendant that the carpet looked like it needed cleaning, and possibly replacing.
