Motel in central area. Older style, clean with good parking and mostly quiet at night. Comfortable beds. California shutters didn’t keep the room dark enough at night. Towels worn and could be replaced. Virtual assistant at front desk. Didn’t use laundry or indoor swimming pool. Stayed 1week to attend a golf tournament.

Good value for money. This was a “cheaper” night on our road trip but had everything we needed. Nothing fancy, but rooms were clean! The day we arrived they were trialing a virtual front desk attendant which we found quite strange. Luckily they still had an actual human there to help with hiccups.

Overall this was a good option. The room was clean, AC worked well, location was convenient. You can tell, however, that it is an older building affected by the elements. The room had a persistent oceanic mold smell. Otherwise, it was lovely.

Enjoyed the stay

We stayed one night and unfortunately weren't able to use the pool, but it looked nice. The room was tidy and clean, there was cute presentations with the toilet paper and towels. Check-in felt futuristic since it was through a remote person, but went smoothly.
