The hotel is an excellent affordable option. Room is clean and has all the essentials. Bathroom and bed are clean. Lobby is in building next door - the check in and out process was extremely efficient and fast, they are highly organized so this was very easy. Free parking + WiFi. Area in a quieter part of OC yet a quick walk to the busier parts of OC. Beach a block away. I would highly recommend this hotel as a great option in OC!

It's an older motel, but was extremely clean and the staff was great. We didn't even ask that our towels be replaced but they were able to straighten up our room and replace linens while we were out. Really great service

Really good value! I stayed for the weekend with my husband and it was well matched for our needs. Could use some updates (bedding, outlets, lighting), but it was very clean, a short walk to the boardwalk/beach, and checkin and checkout was a breeze.

Room was basic but clean. We had a small private deck that looked to the ocean which was great. The AC unit was not the best, had to play with it to get it cooling, but it was tolerable. Can’t beat the price especially with a pool - it looked clean and refreshing. Would stay here again for a weekend getaway for the price.

Wasn’t too bad for the price, but the room smelled like a musty basement. Definitely weds updated carpeting or flooring, and could use a bigger tv. Beds were ok, but pillows were small. A little inconvenient we had to walk next door to check in sand out, otherwise not too bad. Very close to the beach, easy parking, fairly quiet.

Bathroom was extremely clean. But the room had a musty almost moldy smell and the carpet felt moist, so I refused to walk around without at least flip flops or socks on my feet which was annoying.
