Old building that needs rennovating, but i understood that with the price point. Waited 10-15 minutes after contiously ringing the bell to check in. I could hear people in the back (seemed to be a family who lives there) but another older gentlement came in through the front door. He was very friendly. Room was not good. Gnats were in the room, beds were very cheap and on cheap bed frames to where if you move it make a lot of noise. I could hear the same noise from the room above. Only a sheet and a very thin blanket on the beds. I opened the microwave to heat some food and the smell inside the microwave was so putrid i almost vomited, so i couldnt use it. I was afraid to open the mini refrigerator so i didnt even try. I will not stay here again.

Overall, this lodge is ok. On the positive, Trader Joe's, Starbucks and some other shops are just up the street. The hotel is a few minutes from the freeway, so access is easy. The room is spacious and clean. The bathroom is small. The room had a weird smell, maybe from the cleaning agent or something, was a bit annoying.

Travel Ball Stay - minutes from Kit Carson Park

The hotel is located in a redevelopment area under construction. The hotel is fairly old but recently remodeled and very clean. Access from the highway is convenient and located less than 30min from the beach.
