Dawn, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Convenient to boardwalk and beach. Room was clean with excellent room service. Beyond that the clientele was partying all day and night (it was senior week). No attempt by staff to moderate.
Mark, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

It was a bit noisy with people walking and talking by our window late at night
Margie, 1-night trip

loved the 10 second walk to the boardwalk
Natalie, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

No staff on site , had to go to the next hotel, staff hung up on me, the phone in the room doesn’t connect to any staff members, no ice at the ice machine. No towels n rags, had to walk next hotel that they owned also every time we needed something, because they had no staff , ppl did whatever they wanted, smoking weed, loud music above us.
Dolores, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Like that the living room and bedroom was separate. Couldn’t get the volume to work on the living room tv.
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great stay by the beach
Isabella, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Smelled like mold and mildew. It was so strong we almost had to leave but it was too expensive to go somewhere else. We had to buy air fresheners and sprays to make it livable but it was still so bad. The carpets are damp too which I assume is where the mold is. I assume all rooms smell like this. We are usually not very picky about where we stay and we can adjust to some inconveniences but this place crossed the line with cleanliness. If they could update their bedding and furniture and get rid of the smell I would say it’s not bad, but I HIGHLY DO NOT recommend staying here for longer than one night. We got sore throats after 3 nights!! Please look around at other options OR spend the money to stay somewhere nicer. We sure wish we did.

Advice

There was a problem with my room the staff was very quick solve the problem by moving me and my family everything seemd to be good in our next room but bathrooms are very small and bit of advice get rid of the green carpet The room would not smell musty and the stains on the carpet need to go Even though the room was clean, it didn't look good with the stained carpet. You would do yourself such Better service with Another Type of flooring
Louann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

1/2 block from the Boardwalk, great location, quiet and comfortable.
Allan, 1-night trip

Close to everything we needed.
Victoria, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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
Natalie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Kari, 2-night trip
