We had no other option than this quiet suburban location. Having read other reviews, I was relieved to find that the sheets and towels were clean, the air conditioning worked, and there was hot water. Of course, there was no coffee (available next door at 7-11), the reception consisted of a gruff person behind the glass barrier, and signs warned guests that they could not bring visitors into the rooms. Very much like New York's grittiest days in the 1970s. Don't think that I've ever paid so much for such a bare bones motel!

The property was very old and dated. Definitely not a five star hotel but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The motel was within driving distance of everything including the beach and plenty of restaurants but again it’s definitely pretty rundown but it served its purpose for a last minute trip to a concert.

Was pretty nice. It was unfortunate they didn’t have complimentary breakfast or anything, but the rooms were nice. The beds could have been bigger, but all in all very nice. Loved how quiet it was and no smells of smoke or weed anywhere. 7/10! ☺️

In a word, outdated. While it was quiet, the place hasn’t seen any upgrades since the 80’s. It’s so outdated it seems sketchy at best. The one staff I dealt with was nice, check in was simple. Room seemed clean, but it was hard to tell because again, it’s so outdated. Probably won’t stay here again.

Location good, not much else

Had an event nearby, so the location was near-perfect for a 1-night stay. Booked an inside room but still had to go outside and up outdoor stairs in drizzle to reach. I think elevator was out of order. Still has a covid-era setup with a tiny slot for your card/id. Not likely to stay there again 7-11 right next door, which we used for breakfast. Bed and room were OK. Staff was friendly

This hotel is okay but needs some updating. Customer service was fair to midland. Afternoon clerk was rude and not pleasant. Maid service is every other day. This is unacceptable. Paid good money to stay at this hotel and ever since COVID hotels try to get away with this. No coffee when needed. This simple task must be made available at all times.

The only reason I stayed at this hotel after reading the reviews was because there was nothing else around in the area to stay for 1 night. We had an event but we knew it wasn't a clean place and didn't shower or bring any clothes inside. We slept for 5 hours after changing sheets, lysol, and put our own bedding on. Clearly you can see they dont clean the rooms, mildew, rundown motel that people rent hourly to do their thing. The staff was pleasant upon arrival and checkout. It was good for what we needed. I don't recommend it to anyone. The area is also very sketchy.

The room was quiet and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to stay. I would have preferred a shower with a glass enclosure rather than a shower curtain. The receptionist was attentive, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my stay.

The staff were very bad with what appears to be no formal training in hospitality-just a bunch of rude guys (mostly related I think) putting in time . Next to share room with bugs on dirty linen. Even were offered free room please don't ever, go here.
