"Less than a mile from shops and restaurants. The beds in our hotel room were doubles, not queens. The pool was small, and the breakfast area was overcrowded. Poor parking. Don't recommend.2016-08-15"

"Great experience. The hotel was right next door to the train station, so if their horns bother you, don't stay here. The check-in clerk was helpful and professional, even though I didn't arrive until 10 PM. The room was spacious and had a sofa, desk, and king bed. I loved how clean it was, and it had good energy. 2019-07-07"
"The hotel room was nicely appointed, but I was quite disappointed that our room was right next to the train tracks. Trains blew their horns right as they went past our window. Only stay in rooms on the beach side.2016-08-19"

"The motel was well-kept and right by I-5. Walk to the Oceanside Marina and a plethora of restaurants. The rates were reasonable. Nice, clean room with granite counters and shower, a fridge, microwave, iron, coffee maker, a small safe, and good towels. The clerk was wonderful in assisting me with directions and some issues unrelated to my stay, and the clerk the next day was also pleasant and helpful. There was a guest computer and printer in the office. Typical continental breakfast. Stay here.2018-01-05"

"This was my 2nd stay at this hotel. It was so nice, clean, and comfortable, and the check-in clerk was accommodating. The room had everything I needed, and I loved the bedsheets and pillows. There was a lovely observation deck on the 6th floor to watch the sunset, and a small bar area by the lobby. Excellent breakfast prices. Ice water and coffee were available in the lobby. Easy parking. Great place; I'd stay here again.2018-11-03"

"Nice motel with courteous employees.2016-05-31"
"Close to the military ball, but we had a terrible stay at this motel. It's not a pretty place, and many of the rooms were being renovated. The staff was nice, but that was it. The room smelled like cat urine and cigarettes, so we had to air it out. Decent bed, but not enough electrical outlets nearby. There was no hot water for showers, and since it was cold outside, it was horrible having to shower in cold water. Noisy guests woke us up repeatedly. The laundry room was gross. This was the worst place I've ever stayed.2015-12-07"

"The motel clerk initially gave us an already-occupied room. We were then upgraded to a room with a patio, but the AC didn't work, so we were moved to a 3rd room. The clerk said we could check out at noon, but at 11:30 AM, the manager called and said no one authorized a late checkout. We'll look for other options next time.2019-10-25"
"There was trash at the top of the stairs, and the ashtray was full of sunflower seed shells. There was even a broken basketball hoop. The room door wouldn't lock, and we had trouble with the key cards. The carpet and bedspread were stained, and the towels were dirty. The whirlpool was filthy. Don't stay at this motel.2019-10-07"
