We have stayed here every year for the last 5 years and have never had any issues. Everyone is nice, friendly, and very personable. The location is convenient and next to everything you might need or want. The hotel and premises are very clean. The rooms have a mini fridge, microwave, and a coffee pot. They have a decent breakfast each morning. There's even on on site taco truck.

Stayed by chance on 10/11 to break up a girl’s trip. It looked nice, but a little hesitant. We were greeted by the nicest young man “Simon” who obviously enjoyed his job. The lobby was clean, the courtyard was beautiful. The room was very nice size, updated, and very comfortable. Had everything needed as far as amenities. Enjoyed pool, spa, and the coded gate securing property. Simon was over the top welcoming and helpful. Bonus- great taco truck- El Gym was there on fridays with great food and sweet family working. We might’ve stayed another night had there been availability. We will definitely be back! Thank you Simon for going out of your way to make our brief stay so pleasant.

Great place , very quiet and room was nice and very clean. WIFI works great , shower and bathroom perfect . Only warning is this place does not have 24 hour reception. Glad I called first while getting close to the area , as I was able to go to the motel first . If I had gone to meet my buddy for a drink first I would not have gotten in to the motel. The clerk was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will stay again as long as don't need to arrive late . The front office closes at 1030PM.

It's a simple motel, yet everything is there and works. Rooms and other buildings are clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. You also get a well maintained pool surrounded by nicely groomed palm trees, which create a nice atmosphere. All this for budget rates. I recommend it.

Very satisfied with the service. This is nothing fancy or over the top, you get what you paid for. However, I do want to make it clear they make it a priority to make your stay very welcoming by keeping everything well kept and clean ! Loved their courtyard area so peaceful and beautiful. Most of all I enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi

The rooms were recently remodeled. Very well done. There was a great breakfast building. It had waffles, toast, bagels, muffins and cereal. Coffee, orange juice and apple juice. Very pleased with this hotel.

This was a pleasant surprise. I was not sure about the location as driving around homeless people were camped out on the next block. Otherwise the facility is clean and well kept. The room was simple and had plenty of space. I was on the second floor so I had a nice view of the pool and courtyard. I really enjoyed the fact there is a bathroom window in the back. Withe the front window and/or door open a cool breeze brought fresh air into the room. So many hotel these days have the windows sealed and the AC does not being in fresh air. This is a problem with mini splits, no fresh air option. I found myself sitting in a comfy chair with my feet upon another chair just enjoying the evening air with the door open. A relaxing evening.
