For how much I paid I was disappointed

Parking was easy, the room was clean, the staff was nice. Our issues were with the weird check in kiosk, the room was utilitarian, the beds were too hard, the pillows too soft, and the worst part was how bright it was in the room at night because of the 3 security parking lot lights. I could see clearly in the dark all night long even with the blinds shut as tight as they could go. My recommendation, ditch the kiosk that was hard to understand, put up a picture and a colorful blanket on the bed to put some color in the small white box of a room, get a medium soft bed and firmer pillows, and some blackout curtains for that room!

Motel in central area. Older style, clean with good parking and mostly quiet at night. Comfortable beds. California shutters didn’t keep the room dark enough at night. Towels worn and could be replaced. Virtual assistant at front desk. Didn’t use laundry or indoor swimming pool. Stayed 1week to attend a golf tournament.

Good value for money. This was a “cheaper” night on our road trip but had everything we needed. Nothing fancy, but rooms were clean! The day we arrived they were trialing a virtual front desk attendant which we found quite strange. Luckily they still had an actual human there to help with hiccups.

Overall this was a good option. The room was clean, AC worked well, location was convenient. You can tell, however, that it is an older building affected by the elements. The room had a persistent oceanic mold smell. Otherwise, it was lovely.

Staff, this hotel wants you to check in with a tower computer person. A regular desk person was checking someone else in but was to busy chit chatting him up to help us. Then when the strange computer person gave up on us she helped us. Really.....
