You get what you pay for. The price was not expensive, and the room was okay. It could have been a lot cleaner. We didn’t have conditioner in the shower, the floorboards were dirty, and the shower head was plugged with hard water. The bed was so-so.

For an older hotel, I was pleasantly surprised how clean, updated, and spacious our room was. The water stayed hot for two showers with plenty of water pressure. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would stay anytime I'm in the sunset beach area.

Newly remodeled. Great room decor. View of the Bolsa Chica wetlands area from the hallway balcony for birders with binoculars. The street noise can be loud but all motels in this strip have this problem. Short walking distance to good restaurants. Three floors and no elevator so if you can't climb, let them know. We would stay again.

We were told our room was ready and it wasn't. There was no power for half the night, then tried to book another stay and they wanted almost triple the price i paid, but online sites were still cheaper but then you'd have to check out at 11am wait for check in again at 4pm and pay another deposit. The shower was awful. It just wasn't ideal.

We ended up not staying at this property, because they do not have any downstairs rooms and they don't have an elevator. The gentleman at the desk was kind enough to locate alternative lodging for us. The place is nowhere near the Seal Beach Pier - it's not even in Seal Beach. I think that descriptor should be removed from your advertising.

The room was very clean, very comfortable, nicely updated and had a great shower with great pressure. The staff was very nice and waved every time we saw them! Housekeeping was perfect. The location was great, with both Huntington Beach and Long Beach just minutes down the road opposite directions. There were also some very good local restaurants right next to the hotel. We loved Woody's and Taco Surf!
