The motel is conveniently located close to downtown and offers a good value for its price. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, though my room wasn't ready even after 2 hours past the check-in time. The service was friendly and prompt.

I stayed at the hotel and found it to be a solid choice. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, though there were only double beds and occasional power cuts. While the location was convenient, with good security, the presence of homeless people nearby was a downside. The dining options were limited, with cold coffee and pastries offered. The pool was nice and clean, but the beds were uncomfortable.

My room had a minor issue, but it was promptly resolved. The double beds were a bit restrictive, and there were occasional power cuts, but overall, it was clean. I also appreciated the locked pool for safety reasons.

The hotel's location wasn't perfect due to some sketchy homeless individuals around, but it was well-patrolled by security. Being close to the freeway and the beach was a plus, despite the traffic delaying the journey to the boardwalk.
Dining

The dining experience left much to be desired with limited choices and unappealing options like cold coffee and pastries. A better breakfast selection would have been appreciated.

The facilities were decent overall, with clean amenities. However, the uncomfortable beds were a notable downside during my stay.

The hotel provided a mixed experience. The rooms were big, clean, and honored my early check-in request, featuring newer flooring and counters in the shower. On the downside, the service for cleaning our room was not very friendly. The location was too noisy with heavy traffic but ideal for a local needing a place to live. The dining experience was sparse with just coffee, juice, and packaged pastries.
