Check in was great. The lady was super nice. Got to the room and it’s soooo out dated. The floors are that fake wood and they are lifting to where you have to wear shoes or it hurts. The bathroom was not cleaned. Their was hair in the shower and the towels were stained. The bed are like bricks and so loud to where you can’t even move with out it being so loud. The walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors taking a shower. The pipes are so loud.

Excellent Value Hotel... Highly Recommend
Friendly fast check-in. Clean room, nice comfortable bed with crisp bedding. Micro, fridge & coffee maker in room. Large clean pool and pool area, with plenty of comfortable loungers, some are padded wicker. Also, tables and chairs in pool area. Loads of your regularly eating places all with in really close distance, 3 or 4 are only minutes walk. A reall nice good value hotel... would highly recommend as a central base from Oceanside to Santa Monica 👌👍👏

Room was nice sized. No control for the AC, only an on/off switch. Upon check in I had to pay a $50 (supposedly refundable) deposit and then was charged for the stay before getting keys or room number. Was not aware of this (still haven’t been refunded $50 deposit). Woman working the front desk wasn’t very fond of talking so my questions were met with a smile and a nod. Pool and hot tub area looked nice, we never used it but it was nice to see. My husband found hair in the shower before using it. TV was tiny, large fridge for a hotel room, microwave was low power so the few things that we needed to use it for took longer (nbd), floors were nice except a piece chipped off during our stay, lights next to the bed still had plastic wrap on them (complete with sticker that read to remove plastic wrap before use because it’s probably a fire hazard). Just few things. We just needed a place to keep our stuff and rest between activities around town. I think I would stay elsewhere next time.
