I loved the location. I could walk to the beach. it was right off the 5. yet quiet i couldn't hear the freeway. The staff was super friendly. the grounds and building were very clean. my room was clean. my mattress was old i had a spring poke me in the back of my leg when i sat on the edge to get up. there was graffiti etched into the table. The tv remote had dead batteries. there was 3 police cars in the parking lot when i arrived on a Sunday evening. I did not mention anything to the staff about the bad things. I was only there 2 nights. I would stay there again.

You get what you pay for. The price was amazing, but the room lacked soap and towels and had hair. There was also a power outage. If you are on an extreme budget, it’s an acceptable place to stay.
