Just... manage your expectations. It's not a "nice" place, but it's alright. It was sufficiently clean and comfortable; but it's just an old place that needs some maintenence and updating I guess. Staff was very nice! I'm not sure it's worth $200 a night... I'm in not sure if we will stay again. Location is great for walking to several places to eat and the beach though! No AC in the room, so we definitely won't be staying there later in the summer as we were already quite warm in the room no, in April. We were charged an additional $25 for taxes when we checked in.

DO NOT STAY HERE

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience in hopes it helps both future guests and hotel management. While the check-in process was smooth and the staff were funny and polite, the condition of the room was extremely disappointing. From the moment I walked in, it didn’t feel clean and unfortunately, that first impression held true throughout our entire stay. There was visible issues with everything in the room and outdated and corroded and extreme rust on many surfaces, and it was clear there hadn’t been any meaningful upkeep in quite some time. The shower was particularly unsettling—it looked and felt unhygienic, and I didn’t feel comfortable using it. The towels were old, stained, and did not smell fresh, and the pillows were old and lacked any sense of comfort. Fixtures throughout the room were disgusting and that is being nice - the painting had a nail through it, we were given one plastic hanger, of the 6+ outlets in the room, only one was able to charge our iPhones. The sink was disgusting and so were the drawers Cleanliness is such a basic expectation for any hotel stay, and sadly, this missed the mark entirely. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements—this hotel has potential, but without proper care, it’s hard to recommend.

The room was dirty, most things were broken and several bugs were found in my bag upon returning home. I would never stay here again for love nor money. The only positive side of this stay was the staff and leaving.

No heater in room. Had to request portable heater. Requested 2 days in advance for a refund for 1 day as a doctor changed appointment and would not refund. When arrive they charged a "3rd party" of $45 because booked on Expedia. Originally brought me a tow to use a drain plug in bathtub. Bait and Switch price and no maid service.

Surprise resort fees and a weekly type vibe. Bad

I always make sure all taxes and fees included when I book on this site, but then when I got to this particular seedy motel, no one was there and had to call a number and wait 10 or so minutes, no biggy. But checking in I'm blindsided they're trying to charge me $35 a night resort fee. I argued and argued and brought up the new California law and showed my emailed and proved it I had all taxes and fees included, then had them promise me they weren't going to charge because they needed a credit card on file for incidentals. And they promised then after I checked out, they charged me those resort fees anyways. This hotel is also a weekly, people living there type vibe, bbq'ing out front, and working on cars. The toilet in my room had a strong sewer smell. Bed very uncomfortable and I sank in holes, like way too old or too soft. No cable channels as I was looking forward watching football. Loud doors. Two blocks away from the ocean. I would not stay here again, especially after this ordeal.

This hotel is in terrible condition. Mattresses are horrendous. Breakfast is stale cereal. Jacuzzi tub does not work, and there’s no hot water any ways. And, the owner will not let you out of your reservation, even if the services offerer are falsely advertised. This was a terrible experience.

It was a decent spot but it has been run down. Not bad if you’re just getting some rest and a shower. Beds were okay. Linens were clean. Also was not beach front as shown in photos.
