Interesting

Location is great.

I didn’t like the surveillance camera inside the room on the ceiling over the bed. Should be illegal.

Good

I liked the fact that I could have my dog with me and the staff went out of their way to bring me a dog bowl when they didn't have too.

The room was small and so was the parking..

Horrible

The only thing good about this place was the location.

It was extremely dirty. Our towels had blood stains and makeup on them. The blanket had something on it as well. If we had another place to go to we would’ve left! Staff was not accommodating. All out piece of trash! Never stayed in something this bad!

Very poor

Trash aesthetics, bad motel smell. Dirty interior. Waste of money. Better off with the homeless downtown

Bad

It’s only a 20 minute walk to the beach.

The room was small, not super clean, no towels, hardly any soap, on my first night there the power went off and never came back on and there is only about 2 minutes of hot water available, and super loud, you can hear everyone around you and you can hear the cars on the street all night. Over all vary poor experience.

Don't even think about it....

I really can't think of anything nice, just the proximity of the locations we were at.

In the first room we went to, the fridge was leaking. Not only that but the surfaces were not wiped down properly. The second room we went too looked slightly better but it was like walking into an unkept prison cell (because a prison cell would be much more organized). From the scratched up dusty top of the fridge to the stained towels in this new room and the orange water that spews out from the shower faucet when you start the shower it was so not worth the price. Don't even get me started on how the night went. The non stop rumbling, tumbling, and roaring of race cars that blasted through the streets. The non-stop police sirens from 12-6 a.m. The constant turning on and off of the faucet next door. The in and outs of our neighbors (because they barely arrived to put their luggage in at 12 a.m.). If your plan is to get a good night's sleep don't even bother coming here.

A lot of homeless and the bed was not made and the sheets were not changed. We had to do it ourselves. I bought my own blanket because overall it was gross
