It was okay, seemed dated. Check in was weird. It was outsourced to India so you’re checking in on a screen and not someone on the property. AC didn’t seem to work too well.

I called before 12pm to confirm that the pool was going to be available and I was lied to. This is unacceptable especially since I brought my kids to this hotel because of the indoor pool. This is bad on the hotel. I was told maintenance was going to start tomorrow (Monday)

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.
