4/10 Fair

Worst place in OC

The place needs a complete overhaul.
Nicole, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very nice and clean. Check in was fast and easy and the women at the front was very kind. Was a little disappointed that we didn’t receive fresh towels during our stay.
Justine, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nothing fancy

There were a few dead bugs behind the bed and ants in the bathroom and where the fridge and microwave were. The room is dated but it’s fine off you aren’t looking for anything fancy.
Julie, 2-night trip

Pay for what you get

Room smelled like smoke, stains on the floor, and no towels.

Nice and clean! Staff are nice. We went during beach week and the teenagers in the room next to us were having a party all night long. Didn’t get much sleep.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was nice and priced well. The only drawback for me was the small bathroom. Everything else was fantastic and I am very likely to stay here again.

Janice, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The workers were nice however when i booked i noted that one of our guest was in a wheelchair. The first room they gave up was on the first floor but with steps. So the moves us to a a room with a ramp however that’s where the accessibility stopped. The bathroom door was so narrow i could not get her in to shower. Apparently there is one room which does have a bath open that would accommodate a wheelchair with a wide enough door that was next to ours. However they place another family in that the day before we got there. they were not disabled it was a family of 7. Our rooms had were both multi family suite only that one had the wide bathroom that was accessible. It came down to whoever placed the rooms did not do a good job.

Riberto, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was clean with 2 beds. No heat and No blankets to keep warm. Very noisy from other tenants. Slamming doors, runny up and down stairs. Yelling and talking late at night. But you get what you paid for. It did the job.
