Conveniently located stay close to CSUMB where our kid currently attends school. The accommodations in this area are extremely expensive for folks just trying to come and visit their kids. We like to bring our dog with us on these trips, so dog-friendly was a plus. Liquor store being right next to hotel was great for late night snacks & water/beer. Mold in shower, hairs left from last folks who stayed. Shower & bed squeaked very loudly with any movement of the bed/temp adjustment knob. The side tables are barely held up by anything and are barely weight bearing. Shoddy construction all throughout the room. $30/night extra for a dog was fine for me until I saw the condition of the room… then I didn’t feel like that was a fair price to charge per night.

Not returning

Bed was painfully hard and had a weird metal support that stuck out from under the mattress so that I hit my leg getting out of bed. Bathtub has been oddly disabled for use. Strange pipes sticking out from wall. The decor was charming. Room was quiet. Staff was efficient.

First off the room was dirty. Trash still on the floor. And the beds were made with what looked like pet hair still on them. After we got that corrected and we had been there maybe 2 hours we discovered a bad leak in the bathroom, whole floor was wet. They pretty much put us out because it was the only way we could get any kind of refund. Staff was extremely rude and u helpful. This was on Dec 23rd.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was not clean, which was disappointing. The bedsheet had noticeable stains, and there were brown marks on the walls in both the bathroom and the main room. The soap dispenser had sticky, caked-on dust, and the conditioner dispenser in the shower was filled with hand soap. Additionally, the bathroom door didn’t shut properly—it could be pushed open easily, even when it appeared locked. While this wasn’t a major issue for me as a solo traveler, it could be problematic for others. I want to emphasize that the staff was professional and courteous throughout my stay, but the overall cleanliness of the room was lacking.
