"Everything was great. The hotel clerk was nice and helpful. Because of him, I'll stay here every time I visit my son. Book a room.2019-05-27"
"The hotel was clean and up-to-date, and the beds were new and comfortable. The staff was friendly, and breakfast was delicious. I stayed 3 nights and really enjoyed my stay.2019-02-07"
"Everything was fine but the sofa bed; I could feel the springs in the mattress, even when we put it on the floor. We had to ask for extra towels every day since there were 5 of us and we were only given enough for 3 people.2019-01-22"
"Ideal location for accessing freeways, but the hotel was a bit run-down. Our room was quiet. The curtains were tattered, and there was hair in the bedsheets. We reported the problem and got replacement linens. Pleasant housekeepers. The hallway carpet needed cleaning. The TV in the exercise room only had one channel. Some breakfast items weren't properly cooked. On a positive note, the hotel clerks were pleasant to talk with, and it was great having laundry facilities. The outdoor fountain was a nice touch. Walk to the beach and restaurants.2016-07-21"

"The motel room was clean.2018-02-06"
"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"
"The motel clerk was sweet to work on Christmas, and I appreciated her positive attitude. She offered me a choice of rooms. My room was nice, but I had trouble adjusting the showerhead. Other than that, I had a pleasant stay.2016-12-30"
"Old motel. The people in the room above ours were loud. Nice staff, though.2016-03-26"

"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"

"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"
