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!

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.

We originally were in one room. It smelly very old and was outdated. Then a pipe burst and we were moved to a different room but it wasn’t ready so we had to move our stuff out to our vehicle then check back in late at night after a festival and bring everything back in. They wouldn’t give us the keys early or let us move our stuff before heading out for the day. Very inconvenient.
