Large rooms in older dated motel, not much has changed since it was a Best Western. A lot of deep cleaning would go a long way and not cost that much money in the exterior condition of the property.

Stayed in room 317 king bed which has a balcony with 2 chairs and a table. The room is good size and has a medium size refrigerator ( not a small mini one!), microwave. This room even has a deep bath tub / shower WITH JETS! Downside... it needs A 2ND SAFETY BAR HANDLE! Almost hurt myself getting in & out! Free continental breakfast! Good size pool but jacuzzi is small. One last thing...Parking is Free BUT, VERY TIGHT SPACES!

We needed a 1 night stay and this was perfect. Price was great and the parking was a bit of a challenge but would not deter me from returning. The staff was less than desirable but not terrible. Just odd., I am used to hotel staff giving better guidance on where to find parking and rooms etc. I called to do express check out but the mailbox was full so I had to stop off at the front desk. Not terrible but definitely was not how I wanted to do it. I feel some staff trainings would make the stay much more pleasurable for guests.

Check-in & out were easy with smiling staff. Hot breakfast was not self-serve, which was nice, although the food served wasn't much to our liking with much too much garlic on the avocado toast, and rubbery waffle. We did appreciate that fresh towels were provided immediately upon request and that no cleaning person was in our room while we were out, so no worries about anyone rummaging through our things. The room was a nice size, beds very comfortable. The Casablanca Inn was conveniently located for our purposes. Covering an outer wall, the mural depicting Bogart and Bergman is a lovely accent to the simple beauty of the building.

Nice alternative to high priced, chain hotels.

Very good breakfast with lots of options, cooked and served for you. Good location, large room, and free parking. The only thing weird was the large number of people who appear to be living there full time, which makes it seem like you're intruding on their space or crashing their party.

Disliked: Amenities
As mentioned in many prior reviews, the breakfast staffer was very helpful and pleasant. The Balcony room was clean enough but could really use an update. Breakfast: Instead of frozen egg sandwiches a tray of scrambled eggs and roasted potato’s with bagels, toast, English muffins and cream cheese as options would be a great upgrade! Pool Area: it’s very nice but could just use a bit of organization and tidying up in the morning and afternoon. Resetting the chair backs and lining them up/spacing them out would be really impressive. A cute hotel that could be really great with some attention to detail.
