Fantastic little hotel, good bang for the buck, nice pool, tidy rooms and a good service area It has breakfast spots & fast food around it and it’s close enough to the airport to make that transfer to your flight painless, provided you have a car. Even a Walmart close by if your cellphone charging wire breaks like mine did Only drawback is that it has some street noise if you are sensitive to that. Also, the area isn’t super walkable

this was a good experience for a motel. 8.5/10. I would typically avoid any motels like motel 6, etc. but this one was not bad at all. it has a "groovy 70s vibe" which was cool if you're into that. our room was located right outside of the pool area so we heard the music playing and kids playing, which was not really a big deal to us. If you don't like that, try to ask for a room away from the pool. Despite that, its a nice, quiet place to lay your head and staff at the front desk is very kind and helpful if you need extra towels etc. The cons were just that the shampoo, condition, and body wash is very standard (expected) so I would suggest to bring your own. The pumps that hold the liquid did not properly dispense the product so it was more work to get enough out. Overall, I was happy with my 4 day stay.

Great location and vibe
Great location, you can see the bay from the parking lot and restaurant on site. Right off of I-5. Old motel, but has been updated well. It has a cool retro theme and vibe. The restaurant gives you a discount as a guest, and had lots of good options at a reasonable price for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you are looking for a comfy and chill place to crash with good access to the area, this is a great place to stay.
