Needed a quick place to sleep for the night due to needing to be in OC early in the morning. Check in and out was easy & quick. Did have to go to desk for more towels. 3 of us and only 2 towels. AC was off when we arrived but cooled down quick. Price was great but very out dated. Curtains don’t block all outside light! Over all 4/5 stars.

Older hotel, great location, no frills but convenient and clean rooms. Nothing special to mention. Budget friendly considering other options. Heated pool was a plus, no breakfast offered but plenty of nearby options within walking distance. I'd stay again for the value and location!

It was a great place to stay especially for the price and a heated pool, only downfall is I didn't realize the boardwalk was at least 10 blocks away but a lot of other hotels were even further than this one.

It was in a great area. Not too far from the boardwalk with plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. Beach bus stop was very close and just a few steps from the beach. Very friendly staff and rooms were clean and comfortable. Jolly roger park was across the road and there was parking on site as well as a pool.
