Parking was good. Expedia said there’s a microwave in all rooms & they said at check in they do not have microwaves. The girl at check in was nice. Had room 9 by the ice maker room so heard ice coming out of machine day & night. Was close to the beach. Close to freeway. Had a variety of tv channels. Maid service came. Would stay again

absolutely loved this stay, mind you not only is it affordable but the bed and pillows were so comfortable. i needed a place to stay for the night since i was on a work trip from LA made it up to Orcutt and by the time i came down the mountain i was drained. The office closed early but they made it so easy to get my key from a lock box. room was very clean with a heater and tv, coffee and a box to charge whatever you needed. I’ll definitely be returning since they’re right down the block from the beach!

This hotel is on the cusp of being a really nice hotel. The exterior has been beautifully redone- now remodel the rooms! The furniture is old and there is not art work on the walls. Work on having the inside match the outside

Good and bad

Pros: Best deal during the holidays for a true 2BR / 2 bath suite. Great proximity to the beach. The staff is great; 5 star folks running a 2 star motel. Cons: The staff, even though I brag on them, never answered a phone call before I arrived and there is no way to leave a message. No way to take a nap there! Folks running the place are active all freakin day long and making a lot of noise the entire time. It is noisy AF there. And, if it isn't the staff or repair crews, it's the neighborhood around it (loud ass cars and car alarms) and the city (trash trucks at least a few time a week and a street sweeper). The floors in our suite were filthy! My wife's socks were black after walking around in the room for an afternoon and my slippers were sticky on the bottom after the first day. It seems like this is a 1950s motel with all of the issues with a construction of that era (thin walls and thin floors). They run out of hot water, which is just great during a shower; so you have to take your shower early. Seemed like the folks above our room were moving all of the furniture back and forth and practicing as a marching band. The pool is heated so noisy ass kids were in it the last two nights of our stay (I guess parents are reluctant to teach manners to their kids these days). One of the two TVs didn't work at all.

This is not a 3 star hotel. Pretty much like an average motel, Didn’t have microwave while it was mentioned on the website that it has. Very small room and bathroom, Very expensive for what you get

Let me start with the positive- Location is great. Right by the beach and walking distance to some local restaurants. The room was nice. However we did have hot water to shower, the phone in the room did not work to call down to fix in the middle of the night. I reported it in the morning and they said they would check the heater. Long story short we never got hot water. The front desk reception pretty much said sorry instead of at least crediting us some money back for the inconvenience. The outside parking area was a hot mess due to construction but we managed to get a parking space. My opinion overpriced for what you get.
