The hotel is dated, but was fantastic for what we needed. Quick walk to the beach. They allowed us to park before and after checkout to go to the beach. On site pool was great. Outdoor shower and bathroom available when coming from the beach. Office lady was super friendly. This is the first place I will check the next time I come back to the area!

The maids and front desk crew are very kind and respectful. A man (maid) offered to help me bring items to my room from my car. The only few downfalls of the place is that the bathrooms are small, a small crack in the ceiling, there is an air mattress on the bed and it hurt my back after the 2nd night and people were loud in the room next to use. Overall a pretty good experience.

Close to the beach with an outdoor place to clean the sand off. Facility is older but pains have been taken to update it and keep it functional. Room was clean, bathroom was clean, sheets and towels were clean. A good value and will likely stay again.

I liked the location across from Jolly Roger, right on the beach, and 30 minute walk to downtown OC. I didn't like the fact that the room had a musty, mildew smell. The AC ran, but never really cooled the room satisfactory. Around the property, there were rust stains, so a good coat of paint could go a long way. It would be nice to offer at least a continental breakfast and fresh coffee. The parking lot is small, but you do have parking in the back of the property. For the location and the price, it's decent for a weekend stay.

Quick Trip

Check-in was quick. Better know how to drive cause the parking lot is tight. Bed itself is comfy but the pillows are flat af. *If you’re traveling with young kids, be mindful that there is no deadbolt on the door. The kids can easily just flap the door handle and escape!* Quick and easy trip to the beach. Not on coastal highway so not too much traffic noise at night.

No elevator! No balcony! Fees if u loose a key. You have a lot of documents to show at check in as well - drivers license or id and all phone numbers. Your car could be towed if it is there past 3:00pm on check out. Bed is hard. Good for one night only. Small.
