For a budget hotel, the rooms are very clean, spacious, and updated! The walls are a little thin, but we did not have an issue with any excessive noise. This was our second time staying, and we will be back!
We took the kids and grandkids on trip here and stayed 3 nights. Was an inexpensive room for a. Cost conscious trip. Upon arriving at the hotel I was not impressed as the hotel looked older but upon going up the stairs the rooms were beautiful. The staff was super helpful and polite during our stay. The walk to the ocean is just over a quarter mile but could be seen from the 3rd floor balcony. Would definitely stay here again!
I was pleasantly surprised by this property. All the amenities you need at a very reasonable price. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Great location and close to the beach. Staff was very nice
The person working the front desk was AMAZING!! Only a 5 min walk to the beach and lots of restaurants around. The room was very clean. The only negitive we found was the snack machine was basically empty and there is no stores right next to it
Property was very clean! Staff was accommodating. Parking included which is a huge plus. Prime location, quick and easy walk to the beach and many restaurants. Main Street on Seal Beach is 2 miles away, I will definitely be returning soon!
This place is centrally located. Love the location. The exterior of the building needs some updating. But the interior was updated. Note to future travelers. No elevator.
The staff was very helpful when I booked in last minute overall I felt immediately at ease when I arrived. I’ll be recommending this spot to my friends. Thank you for your warmth, hospitality and kindness!
