The hotel turned out to be fairly well located as not having a car it was necessary to walk to find something to eat. There was a spa pool but I didn't get to use it. All duty managers were most helpful.

I booked this room through Expedia and found it to be worth every penny I paid. I was looking for a budget hotel that was safe, clean, and had a parking spot. This hotel was all of those 3 things. Being a big fan of a free breakfast, I chose this over other local budget hotels, because it did advertise the free continental breakfast. I have booked many different budget hotels for myself when I travel solo, and this hotel exceeded my expectations in several ways!I stayed in a non-smoking King room.The room was clean and quiet and the staff were friendly.I did not have any concerns about the cleanliness of the bedding, carpeting, or anything else. I would say the decor was outdated, but the decor is not the reason I stayed here - the price is.I also agree with others that the bed was hard, but I didn't wake up with a sore back or neck, so I am not concerned about that. The bathroom had soaps/shampoos, even some additional samples of other shampoos and deodorant which seemed odd, but was a nice touch. There were linens for 2. There was a TV with remote, dresser, two bedstands, and reading lights on the wall on each side of the king size bed. The room I stayed in also had a corner alcove with microwave, mini-fridge, and the sink for the room. I personally like hotels where the sink is separate from the rest of the bathroom, but I could see how some people might not like that. The continental breakfast also exceeded my expectations. As with any budget hotel around this price point, I expected a pre-wrapped danish and a coffee. Those two were offered, but there was also Sunny D orange juice, bananas, apples, tangerines, croissants, and mini brownies (of which I took a few for the road!) + Free USA Today newspaper. I was definitely impressed. It was obvious that the staff cared about how the breakfast was laid out, too. One additional point I'd like to make is that this hotel had free wi-fi. I stay in hotels that are several price points higher when I am on the company dime, and those hotels often charge $10-15 to use the wi-fi. I would never pay that, but to have FREE WIFI at this hotel was awesome. The doors for the motel rooms face inward toward a parking lot, but I did not hear traffic or noise through the thick steel door. The rooms also have electronic key card access, so that was also a plus. Other people have said that the area looked a bit sketchy. It was on a main busy road, with several small businesses nearby, but I didn't see people loitering or even walking on foot - it was mainly car traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway out front. All in all, I felt my stay was well above average, and would come back again if I were staying on a tight budget.

I reserved a room for my son and his wife for 2 nights. My son called me to tell me that he won't be staying after first night because the management is very rude. Communication problem seems to be one of the factors. The owner seems to have difficulity with English. My son did not appreciate yelled at by the management....possibly difference of Indian custom when dealing with customer. Just like anything else - when things goes wrong, real management style shows up.So, he moved to Queen Mary ship and had a wonderful night.

Our experience at this hotel was average. For the value of the rate, the room was decent. Our room was located right next to the ice box and soda vending machine, which was nice. The mini fridge was very clean. It had an ironing board and blow dryer. The bathroom was clean. The people running the motel were friendly. We had no problems. Although they offered free internet access we still brought our Clear Wireless and had full connection, which we never do, even where we live. I'd stay here again.

We didn't end up staying the night because the bed was so hard - it felt like a piece of plywood.It was advertised that there was a whirlpool tub for two in our room - uh, no, unless you are two 5-year olds.Also the parking situation was very, very tight. Hard to maneuver around the very small lot.Manager at first didn't want to give us our money back, but finally relented.We ended up going to the Quality Inn down the street which was much better!
