"A bit far from the beach in an area without a lot of traffic. The motel was quiet and clean. We loved it here and plan to stay again.2018-08-04"
"About a 15-minute walk to the beach. The motel was quiet, peaceful, and clean, and the front desk clerk was helpful and polite. Nice place to stay.2018-04-07"
"We had a nice motel stay, but our room smelled like smoke and made it hard to sleep. The staff was nice and helpful, but no other rooms were available. We asked for a clean set of bedsheets the next day and got them with no problem. The shower curtain rod was loose, so the curtain hung to one side. The guests next door came back late one night and made a lot of noise for over an hour. Not much selection at breakfast, and the dining room needed monitoring.2017-08-15"

"This motel was awful, and the staff was even worse. Upon arrival, we were told there were no rooms available, but suddenly she found a non-smoking room. Unfortunately, it reeked of cigarette smoke.

"Great customer service, but a horrible place to stay. Didn't feel safe walking in the neighborhood. The room was a disappointment, and we couldn't sleep because of the loud AC and noise from neighboring rooms. The curtains didn't adequately block out light. We'd planned to stay at this motel for six nights, but left after one.2015-10-06"
"Good location if you like the beach, but I got to the hotel late at night only to find a bed full of sand and lamps that didn't work.

"Safe, convenient, and clean. The front desk clerks were nice and polite, but the hotel was short-staffed. I waited an hour at the airport for the shuttle and finally gave up and got an Uber. I arrived at 7PM and had to wait for a room to be cleaned. A fresh breakfast was provided.2019-07-02"

"The hotel was close to the Bay Bridge tunnel. The restaurant was good.2018-03-16"
"Not far from the freeway. Good place to stay for the price. The room was clean and well-stocked, but the heater was unplugged so the room was cold. The staff smoked at the hotel entrance; I had to walk through a thick cloud of smoke. The light on the 5th floor by the elevator was out, so it was dark and scary. Good breakfast with plenty of variety.2018-01-29"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
