Horrible no elevator Ice machine was broke maid cleaned our room once in 7 days will never stay there again.
Francena, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is an excellent affordable option. Room is clean and has all the essentials. Bathroom and bed are clean. Lobby is in building next door - the check in and out process was extremely efficient and fast, they are highly organized so this was very easy. Free parking + WiFi. Area in a quieter part of OC yet a quick walk to the busier parts of OC. Beach a block away. I would highly recommend this hotel as a great option in OC!

Like that the living room and bedroom was separate. Couldn’t get the volume to work on the living room tv.
Adam, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No staff on site , had to go to the next hotel, staff hung up on me, the phone in the room doesn’t connect to any staff members, no ice at the ice machine. No towels n rags, had to walk next hotel that they owned also every time we needed something, because they had no staff , ppl did whatever they wanted, smoking weed, loud music above us.

Close to everything we needed.
Victoria, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Smelled like mold and mildew. It was so strong we almost had to leave but it was too expensive to go somewhere else. We had to buy air fresheners and sprays to make it livable but it was still so bad. The carpets are damp too which I assume is where the mold is. I assume all rooms smell like this. We are usually not very picky about where we stay and we can adjust to some inconveniences but this place crossed the line with cleanliness. If they could update their bedding and furniture and get rid of the smell I would say it’s not bad, but I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend staying here for longer than one night. We got sore throats after 3 nights!! Please look around at other options OR spend the money to stay somewhere nicer. We sure wish we did.

It's an older motel, but was extremely clean and the staff was great. We didn't even ask that our towels be replaced but they were able to straighten up our room and replace linens while we were out. Really great service

Lovely little place near the boardwalk! Friendly and attentive staff! Very clean!
Diane, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property located right next to the boardwalk. Room was clean. Staff was nice and professional.
Tetyana, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was basic but clean. We had a small private deck that looked to the ocean which was great. The AC unit was not the best, had to play with it to get it cooling, but it was tolerable. Can’t beat the price especially with a pool - it looked clean and refreshing. Would stay here again for a weekend getaway for the price.
Rebecca, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The parking and check in process was very easy and convenient. As soon as we entered our room there was a strong scent of mold and the air was stall. The location was close and convenient but would not stay here again based on the cleanliness.

Like it.
David, 2-night trip

Rooms were dirty. Had to get clean towels.
Steve, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The room smelled like a musty basement. In order for the smell to not overwhelm us we had to keep the windows open and use air fresheners. The beds were hard as rocks, may as well have slept on the floor. The best part was the clear view to the ocean from the tiny balcony.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The place was very outdated and the room had a musty smell. Sofa and carpet was stained.
Colleen, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth the money,avoid this place

Had to check in at a hotel down the road. We got a room on the 3rd floor, no elevator. First impression as soon as we opened the door we were hit with a damp ,musty smell. Toilet kept running and wouldn't fill back up,and when taking a shower,the tub would not drain properly.
Kelley, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The first room they gave us smelled like urine. The second one was infested with bed bugs and we left early and I filed a claim with my credit card to get my money back.
