Poor management
Water leaked thru the bathroom ceiling. We asked for a new room but the hotel was full so the manager said we have to wait until the next day. On day 2, the morning desk clerk had no idea that we had a problem. After we explained the situation he said he would have a new room ready for us when we returned from spending a day out and about. We called that afternoon to make sure a room was ready. It was not. The evening desk clerk said she was not informed about the problem. She was properly apologetic, but had to give us an inferior room that was farther from the parking lot. We found a pair of underwear behind the door. Otherwise pretty clean tho and a great location near the beach.

It’s a yes for me
This is a wonderful hotel. Rooms are updated and very comfortable. No bugs and always clean. Plenty of parking so you can enjoy a short 5 minute walk to the beach. Right next to the freeway just how I like it. I love the sound. A hot breakfast is made with love daily along with complimenting drinks. Staff is so nice and very welcoming. You will definitely enjoy your stay.

BIG SPIDER IN OUR ROOM!
We found a big brown spider in our room! and a few ants. We gave the spider to the front desk and hope they will get a bug guy out to spray.

The staff was very kind to my boyfriend and I when we stayed. The breakfast included was very much appreciated and everyone was very sweet. I am just being a little particular but the floor wasn’t as clean when I walked in, it was kind of dirty and sticky next to the bed and entrance area.Overall though a very good experience

A good place to stay
I've been here several times. It's always nice and clean. Right at the beach. The walls are thin, and the beds are doable. They serve breakfast every morning and have fruit and hot beverages all day. The staff is friendly and accommodating. You wake up and walk out not even five min walk to the beach/sand dunes and nature. right at the freeway too. Can't beat the price.

Property isn't on the beach but is in the dunes near the beach - a long walk to the ocean. Motel backs-up to the hi-way and is noisy. Property is older, has no phones in rooms to contact front desk if there was an emergency and the toilets are child-size and not suitable for adults. Bathroom is cramped and staff is sparse.
