It’s fine for an overnight stay. Room was clean and bed was comfy. It’s right off the freeway so area not pretty but was practical for what we needed which was just somewhere to stay for one night only on a budget.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room itself was clean, and the breakfast options skewed much more kid-friendly than adult-friendly. However, the surrounding area wasn't great, and the main reason for the low rating was being denied fresh towels during a two-night stay—especially frustrating after heading to the beach twice. Not being able to get clean towels during a multi-night stay is unheard of and extremely disappointing. I definitely wouldn't bring my family back here in the future, and I'd only consider staying again solo if there were no other hotel options available.
