Good for a night or 2.

The Castaway is a good place to stay for the price. I've stayed here before. It is clean but always has a strong smell of bleach.

Pleasantly Surprised

Great management and staff. Beyond what is typical, especially in the lower price point. I frequent the McDonald's next door and meet quite a few people who stay there regularly. Will be back again.

They really don't clean well. First I found the microwave with spoiled food, who knows how long it had been in it, and then I found a sock that wasn't mine. At night, I don't know what happened, but they knocked on the window several times while I was sleeping in the middle of the night.

Good stay

I booked this hotel because we had an event at the Honda center, and it was close and in our budget. I was a little worried based on the reviews however, my check-in was very nice and flawless. A young man checked me in and I also did speak with the woman who I believe is in charge and she was very nice. The hotel does have rules which they do clearly state on the website and on a sign when you’re checking in. of course, if you try to go against these rules, there will be an issue. I did really like how the kitchen area was separate from the room there is no issues with parking and area was decent as well. There’s a lot of bars and food areas around would recommend

Very affordable. Certainly gets the job done. My room floor was pretty dirty with lots of long hair on the floor when I arrived. Had quite unpleasant interactions with management although they did accomodate some of my requests (such as having the floor cleaned ). Again very affordable and ideal location so you just gotta know you're getting what you pay for.

It was dirty, the comforter had holes, the floor was dirty, wooden floor had gaps, the bathroom window was crooked, the faucet and shower head had significant calcium stains, the shower caulking had mold build-up, the air conditioner was loud and it would turn on and off keeping me up. The pictures on Google made it look decent but it's not. The 7.8 rating that it has is probably due to folks not bothering to rate it.
