Had a very nice stay. Bed was comfortable. Room was nice. Shower was nice. Don't forget your own shampoo and conditioner. They have all in one and it totally dries out your hair and no blow dryer.

Stayed mid July. I would stay here again. Pros-the inn looks recently renovated. Clean new room inside. Maid service was fine. Directv. Powerful a/c unit. Lots of lighting. Plenty of parking, Good price, close to beach n highway, walkable to restaurant n gas station, 420 store next to it but i didn’t smell weed. Cons-no safe, towels are old, highway across the street so it can be loud at times, little bars of soap n packets of shampoo, no ice machine, staff not the warmest but i could care less, bed is a bit springy and moves across the floor too easily-not good for jamming.

Room was fairly clean. Stairway and railing breaking off. No elevator. Lots of things in disrepair. No ice machine. No hairdryer. Remote doesn't work unless standing right in front of tv. Mattress has stains on it. Sand on floor never was cleaned up. OK if you need a cheap place t stay, but don't expect anything nice.

The check-in staff was great, for an inexpensive hotel in an expensive area it's pretty darn nice and clean. The neighborhood does leave a little bit to be desired but that's not the hotels responsibility.

This is a bare-bones hotel. The upholstered furniture in the room was soiled and the rest in bad repair. The toiletries were a joke, and would recommend anyone contemplating a stay bring their own soap and haircare products. My room was noisy, making it hard to fall asleep. Overall, would say the room was clean, though door frames and edges, as well as shower curtain, should be wiped down. Person who checked me in was polite.

I wish they had an ice maker machine, but those cost extra dollars. It's a family owned business and they care, it shows.

It's a nice room for the price and conveniently located near a Starbucks and all of the freeways. Be aware that they do have extra rules upon check in, like one car in the parking lot per room and no visitors allowed.
