Room was clean and spacious. Property is old but well maintained. Only two negative issues; there was no mirror in the bathroom or anywhere else in the room. The only rooms that had a King bed as we requested were on the second floor and there is no elevator. The stairs are steep and handrails extremely low. With arthritis and a knee replacement the trips up and down the stairs were excruciating. We would definitely stay again if there were a ground floor room available.

Our Stay

The room at the inn was clean and presentable. The closed caption feature on the TV and/or remote controller did not work as designed and it was very late for us to report it to the office. Where we stayed, one of several construction utility trucks doubled parked in the front of the unit where we stayed so we had to park our car elsewhere on the premise a little far. Overall, it was a nice place to stay for a reasonable price.

The floor in the room and in the bathroom was dirty and gritty, and baseboards filthy. The shower chair had hair on it and the drain had some gunk. There was one chair in the room (for 2 people) and it was badly soiled, had to lay plastic down on it before I felt comfortable sitting. My dad's bed had makeup spilled on the bed skirt.
Crayon scribbles on the wall next to the TV armoire. The drawers in the nightstands were dirty. Food residue on the little table, and dried up residue on the artwork above it, as if someone had sprayed something and got it all over the glass. The bed linens were clean, thank goodness. The manager had me leave $100 cash only deposit (refunded at checkout) which was an unexpected thing, it was not listed on Expedia website, a bit of a hardship, normally this is done with a credit card. At checkout when i asked for the deposit back the manager scowled at me and after checking the condition of the room, wordlessly handed it over with a scowl. I said Thank you and he totally ignored me as if I'd done something wrong. I tried again with Thank you, louder this time and still no acknowledgement that I'd spoken, so unfriendly. He made me feel so unwelcomed. I would never stay here again. We chose it for the location to our event.

For a budget motel, the facilities were nice, restaurants were in easy walking distance, and the facilities for the disabled truly outstanding. Unfortunately, the bathroom counters were filthy, the bedroom floor crunchy with ramen noodles. If my housekeeper ever left my apartment in such a condition I'd fire her on the spot. But it was over Christmas, so maybe they were short staffed, or the maid service distracted. Good place for a tight budget, I'd even recommend it IF they cleaned better.

We just stayed there for a baseball game. The pictures are misleading. The outside is dingy worndown, and give the impression of not being safe. Tons of cats hanging around in the parking lot. Interesting people coming in and out of the property. My anxiety was up the whole time because I did not feel safe the whole time we were there. The inside of the room was fairly clean but outdated. The toilet was not working when we got there and staff came in and fixed it but it broke again the day we left. The tv never turned complely off so there was a blue glow in the room the whole night. I really wanted to cancel our room and find a safer place to stay but it says no refunds. I will not stay there again.

It is what it is

The outside of the hotel is very old and desperately needs a facelift. From the moment you drive up, it has a shady feel to it with flickering lights at the entrance and homeless people in the parking lot. I wouldn’t write home about it, but it… wasn’t the worst? The room was old but it felt clean, and the bed was cozy. We booked it as a last resort when everything else in the area was sold out. We just checked in, slept, and left. All in all, if you just need a place to sleep for a night and you wanna save a buck, it does its job. I wouldn’t feel very comfortable staying for more than that.

So disgusting, smelly, unclean, unsafe, drug deals being performed in parking lot, druggies living in cars, homeless working on bikes everywhere, toilets so gross, no deadbolt, dirt walls & floors, holes in all the walls including the ceiling, even key card was filthy. We checked in after waiting for 15 minutes for staff and the lobby stunk. The property was so sketchy and delapitated. There was a prostitute walking thru while we were packing to leave. We only stayed long enough to find another hotel to go to. Disgusting!! This shouldn’t even be considered for rent. It’s a place that’s possibly rented for the hour or week. Terrible!!! The website lies and do not stay here.

I chose this place because it was fairly near to the concert we attended yesterday evening. I thought it would be a little bit closer to the harbor area but it's a fair walk. We ended up taking the car to the concert since the area looked a little shady at night. We felt that the price for this \"no frills\" room was overpriced. The man in the office when I was checked in was fairly courteous but at the same time, wasn't very welcoming. I also wasn't able to understand everything he was saying. The motel itself is pretty run down and needs a lot of work. The people staying at this place looked like they'd been there a while. The area outside around the room was pretty dirty with shoes and clothes on the floor in the parking lot nearby what looked like a dumpster. Initially, our room looked nice but then when we looked further, we noticed that the floors were dirty, scuff marks were on the walls, and one of the electronic sockets near the bathroom was loose. In addition, the flush lever on the toilet wasn't quite working properly and there was possible mold around the bathroom windows. Overall, the room was pretty rough around the edges. I would normally say \"you get what you paid for\" but this wasn't exactly cheap. I will avoid this place in the future.

It almost seemed as someone had just stayed in the room and it was just picked up a bit prior to our arrival, we found a lot of hair on the bed and sheets(luckily we travel with out own bedding). I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, specially if you’re traveling with children because trust me you don’t want them walking around and grabbing anything in that hotel room.
