“I'd rather sleep in my car!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2006
7
people found this review helpful

I booked a room here directly after reviewing this site and talking directly with someone at the hotel.... It was a busy weekend and this seemed like the only semi reasonable deal in town... anyway, long story short... we get there and it looks like a bunch of crackheads are staying there.... It was hot, so people had sheets up covering their open doors. I hear people upstairs with hacking coughs as if they are on their deathbed. There was no one in the office, just a sign saying "sold-out." Anyway, we got out of there quick. Fortunately we found lodging for the night, but i would have seriously rather spent the night with my girlfriend in the car.... or sleeping at the beach! Belive the previous reviewer!! I wouldn't stay there if it were the last room on earth!

“Do Not Stay At This Very Scary Motel!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2005

people found this review helpful

I was nervous about making a reservation at this hotel after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor, but took the risk anyway and SERIOUSLY REGRETTED MY DECISION. It was very last minute and there was a very good reason why there were rooms available - like another reviewer said, there seem to be a lot of people one step away from being homeless living at the hotel. I wonder what rate they're paying?! I made the reservation Saturday afternoon and my husband and I drove up from Los Angeles that evening. We drove into the parking lot where there were people hanging outside of their rooms and carrying on conversations with people across the parking lot. It was unsettling, so it wasn't surprising when we got to the room that it was FILTHY. We left right away, knowing that it would be hard to find a room, but relieved anyway. We ended up DRIVING BACK TO LOS ANGELES THE SAME NIGHT. I don't know who the people are that wrote the 2 reviews saying this hotel is O.K....IT IS ONLY O.K. IF YOU"RE DRUNK, STONED OR LOOKING TO TURN A TRICK.

“It was okay”

Its like staying at a Travelodge or Motel 6. Don't expect some big fancy place it was clean and walking distance to everything. Would recomend to others if they needed an affordable place to stay without all the amenities.

I stayed here recently and I would recommend it to others. When you think of this place think Motel 6 not, Hilton...this is a basic motel but my room was clean and the location and rate could not be beat.

“Motel needs lots of repairs & changes!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2003
12
people found this review helpful

Listen to the "Don't stay here" review, that's exactly what I got. A bed, a TV (bad reception & no remote), a bathroom (the shower water filled up to my ankles), a patio table & chairs inside, no phone, no coffee, no nothing else... that's what you get. I paid $99.00 per night for one person on the weekend. I would not stay here again, I'd pay extra for a nice room to come back to from a day at the beach or of shopping, or a nice room to wake up in.
