We booked only to sleep and shower but it was a very nice and clean place and looks like it's been modernized. We had a room near the vending machine and the walls are kind of thin so we heard our neighbor watching TV or when people would park and leave. Other than that, it was quiet and a quaint place. We would totally return. My kids loved the place.

It was great since my friend and I went the week right after the holiday (turkey day) it was quiet . The room was clean , the heater work good. It was in a good location like 7-20 mins from things to do. We got a 2 queen bed room and there was space around the bed and the bathroom was a nice size. Also there was a fridge and microwave in the room which was fantastic. They had a little patio by snacks vending machines but a larger one so if we did want to eat outside we could. Would stay here again. The only thing was eh was we were on the first floor and the bathroom window even thou it was pattern it didn't have a curtain .

No Surprises
No Surprises. We just stayed overnight to go whale watching at fisherman's wharf. We didn't know about the hotels whale watching packages and had our own arrangements. It's a short drive. Hotel staff was friendly and informative at check in. We walked to the beach at night. It's about 20 min. It's dark and we didn't go out on the beach, but found a nice bench on one of the paths not too far from the street. You can just notice the occasional plane fly overhead. It didn't bother us and my companion thought they were just cars going by on the street.

The room was small but clean and the property is in great shape with a lot of care given to the landscaping. Service at the front desk was fantastic. Phenomenal value in an area where there is so much to do and the room is essentially a crash pad. It’s away from the activity core and under the flight path of the airport, which does have a 10pm curfew. Will definitely stay here again.

This hotel was very dirty. The first room had hair all over the place and even on the comforter. So we asked for another room and the room had dirty toothpicks tables n the corner. Although the front desk people were very nice I would not recommend staying here until they get a decent cleaning crew.
