As noted above, it is close to downtown but right next to train tracks. It is very old, as are its mattresses, (very unconfortable), our door to 213 leaked water onto our floor during the rains. The occupants of 212 next door woke us up at 2 in the morning yelling and moving furniture about, my wife was terrified. Wall mounted shower shelf was cracked. There was no coffee maker in our room, the toileteries were minimal at best. At least there was plenty of hot water. Parking was immedieatly adjacant to our room. 1 van accessible parking space was provided at office. Property staff lives on site but was very lacking in communication skills. Daily rate is leaste expensive in area if that is all you are looking for. My bad.

Within walking distance to most everything you need... the beach, shopping, park, restaurants, gift shops and more! I had a quaint, cozy room with a kitchenette on the secluded second floor, which I loved! It's a no-frills kind of place, but it is also dirt cheap by CA motel standards. I would recommend buying a new comforter for the bed (which cannot cost much at all) to replace the one which, though beautiful in color, has seen better days. That small criticism would not keep me from staying there again, though. But, I'd want that same room (#122) !

Dirty cigarette burns in bedding and bathroom trays. No place to hang clothing. No houskeeping unless you’re in your room. No extra or new towels after housekeeping leaves early afternoon. Rude front desk got hung up on.
