Great location and room size (family room). Walking distance to the beach and there’s a nice cafe next door. Floor needed a good cleaning/mopped better, but I’ll definitely stay again.

We stayed here 2 years ago and were very pleased. Happy to say that the visit was great again this year. The rooms are large and well laid out, comfortable beds. Nice and helpful staff. Great location and price. Try the Spaghetti Bender up the street, it's a favorite from my wife's childhood. Only thing is that the floor needs to be cleaned a little better from the sand coming from the nearby beach.

This hotel was close to the beach and perfect for our large family. It is dated but charming.

It was clean and comfortable. Close to beach and they had loaner towels, chairs and umbrellas for the beach. Not to mention family rooms with 3 beds, fridge and microwave.

Overall I enjoyed our stay here and hope to return soon. Our room was not sound-proof at all and the most of the night I felt like the window was open (it was not) because of how loud the street noises were (cars driving by, loud motors, honking). But the staff was wonderfully helpful and interested in helping us get the most out of our short stay. They have beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs, and boogie boards available to use for free - so helpful!! The beach is about 3-5 min walk away - sooo convenient. They don’t serve breakfast at the inn but two doors down there is a wonderful cafe that served a great breakfast ($10-20). Parking was tight but there were just enough spaces and I was able to park right outside our room which was helpful with small kids. I loved that they have rooms for larger families. The rooms is not new (floors had a few cracks patched with duct tape) but it was clean and the shower worked well. Overall the friendly staff and beach conveniences helped me overlook the noise issues. I enjoyed this place and look forward to returning with my family. Thanks for a great stay.

It came as advertised: old, spacious, noisy during the day, bland and clean. The bed was comfortable enough and the motel is close to the beach and close enough to restaurants and Balboa Island. It’s where I would stay if I was hitting the beach everyday or visiting family but not if I was appreciative of luxury. Ask for daily maid service, they do a good job. It was very walkable once you got away from the highway out front.

It was in a great location. Not the fault of the property, but the noise of the early morning kids running in the room above us was disappointing because we couldn't sleep in.
