The hotel is very clean, updated with modern fixtures (excellent shower!), comfortable bed and the manager is very helpful. The rooms are smaller, as was customary when it was built, but this is one of the best remodels I've ever seen of motels from that era. Also, a huge TV! The heater/air conditioner is loud, but if you can get past that, you'll have a clean, pleasant and affordable stay.

We had a wonderful stay and it was a great value! The front desk staff were so polite and helpful, they offered us snacks and gave us a wonderful recommendation for dinner. Our room was clean, well stocked, and had a really cute theme. The hotel is just a few minutes away from the downtown area with tons of cool shops and restaurants. We slept well and check out was a breeze.

As soon as we walked in the first thing I noticed was how clean the room was. Restroom and shower equally clean! Looked like the place went through a recent remodel so it was a great place to stay. I will be coming back.

Great location at south end of Orange County. Quaint rooms with the necessities. I'd recommend bringing additional pillows and beach towels. Close to beach, restaurants, taverns, fast food markets, off Hwy 5, etc. Compact parking spaces and well lit parking lot. Bed mattresses are ok. All new restoration of interior and exterior of grounds. Great for the price!

What an adorable little vintage motel! First of all, the owners are so kind and friendly! The room itself was adorable. Basic in terms of decor but nicely appointed. Extremely clean and stocked with bathing necessities and an awesome hair dryer! Comfy bed, quiet safe room and location. Loved it! Room was small so best for a couple but excellent location off 5 freeway. The community kitchen was a cool concept- coffee maker, small fridge, and stove to cook your own food if you wish. Thank you for a great stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The unit was small but clean & neat. The A/C wall unit was not able to be adjusted and was therefore either ON or OFF. When ON it was programmed for 61 degrees. The FAN was not adjustable so it was full blast & very noisy. Quickly got too cold. When OFF the room became too warm and stuffy very quickly. Absent but desired amenities were a chair & desk--& hot water pot for tea/coffee or hot chocolate.

Really super place to stay. The owners were really welcoming. It’s an old style motel which has been redone in a fresh contemporary style. It was very quiet and felt very safe. Everything was super clean. Nice place for breakfast called Sugar Shack is just next door. Easy access to pier and local bars, restaurants without any noise from being too close. Ideal. 100% recommended
