The room was updated and perfect for the few nights we stayed. This is one of the only motels that has been updated, but still has the OC motel feel. Staff were extremely nice.

The hotel offers grab and go breakfast which is more than adequate along with a $6 special. Two restaurants on site both pretty good. All staff are friendly and knowledgeable

The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Parking was a little difficult, but one of the staff members helped me get a spot close to my room. The room was clean, it smelled good, but had a couple flies.

It was a good experience. When we arrived, everything was clean, everything was tidy, and the service was great. My only complaint is that the pool closes very early. But other than that, I would stay here again.

Choosing to stay downtown OC it is loud outside and if you have people above you you will hear them walking around. Pool was a place to cool off. Very close to boardwalk.
