It's motel 6, shouldnt expect much. Pros: room has fridge, microwave, fairly clean, staff helped us move to a non smoking room as expedia mistakenly booked us a smoking one Cons: room has no toiletries other than two small soap, no hairdryer, no daily housekeeping, area felt safe but into the night there are people smoking weeds in their rooms as the smell is strong when walking by some part of the property

We were family of 4 , Room had bleach smell and floor was sticky when we checked in , blankets had cigarette holes(even though i had booked a non smoking room), blanket was torn at some places, same as curtains , Bathroom floor had left overs like orange peels from the previous visit. Also the bathroom door does not lock. I did report the very next day morning to the front office staff but no response, they just enquired if there was a leak in the bathroom, they did not even mind to clean it as it was widely visible all that i had said above I have pictures of all things if i get a pushback on what ever i have written Only positive thing I could say is that this place is near legoland and costco front office staff heard everything and were polite but did nothing If you are going with family it woud be wise to stay away as this might not satisfy you to the bare minimum expectation.

Easy check in, very comfortable bed, room was clean, water pressure strong, lighting was good. Floor should have been swept, a little bit of 'sand/dirt' on bare feet.

Everything is awesome here. Staff is awesome and super nice! AC works great (I get hot flashes so it works wonders). Mini fridge stopped working and they changed it pretty quickly.

Good price, but I had to turn the AC off because it had a bad smell to it. Not sure if they're old or it's because we're close to the water.
