A lot of freeway traffic noise. Upgrading windows recommended. Window air conditioning units - one noisy, other didn’t work. Recommend a newer, more comfortable, large couch. Breakfast was ok, would recommend different pancake machine since not working. Recommend bacon and different eggs.

I would like to say that after I had read not so good reviews so I was a little nervous. I was'nt sure if we would like the place. But we went ahead with the reservation. I want to say to people not to worry.We were very surprised and happy with our room. It was very clean, the bed was comfortable.We had four adults and the room had two separate bedrooms! It also had a kitchenette and small couch and 3 TV"s ! So don't worry guys this place is really nice. Their complementary breakfast is a plus. We will go again another plus is the beach is not far either.

It advertised as having a full kitchen and the full sized refrigerator was great. However I was expecting some silverware, glasses or dishes. They did have plastic silverware and paper plates at the breakfast area. I didn't eat breakfast but it did look very good!

Very cost effective for anyone NOT spending significant time in one's room. A no frills place. Easy access off major interstate, near to shopping ( food, gas). Relatively quiet.
