    Cons -

    • Lighting in the bathroom over the sink in the double Queen rooms could use some updating. Can't see to do your makeup or your hair. Super dark. Our room smelled musty like old smoke. And I requested a 5:00 a.m. wake up call and I never received it.

    • no safe in the room

    The lobby and coffee shop were very appealing. Clean and nice decor. The coffee was great and the 30% discount was a perk!

    I booked this hotel from the reviews, I booked two queen beds and room was facing the freeway which could be heard all day and night. The shower dispenser were not working.

    10MichaelPosted on: 6-2-2025

    The beds and pillows and hip decor!

    10AdamPosted on: 6-1-2025

    Cleanliness, & staff.

    Room size was a bit small. And the pool should close at 10 during the summer

    4MiguelPosted on: 5-28-2025

    The bed was very comfortable, other than that... nothing.

    I was placed in the handicap room, there were no amenities in the room (no hangers, no iron, no coffee), there was also no shelve space in the bathroom or room.

    7Verified guestPosted on: 3-21-2025

    The staff are amazing

    Well I paid for a supreme room and was given a standard room but was charged the supreme rate. Our room was not fully cleaned and was dusty and that caused me to cough all night witch cause lack of sleep.

    9ThomasPosted on: 3-11-2025

    Clean, very close to downtown, well maintained with a festive 1960s California theme, pool looked great (a bit cold to use right now)

    10JonellePosted on: 10-18-2024

    Very cute, retro vibe. Easy access to i5. Small cafe and store on site. Hotel was clean, beds and pillows were very comfy. Pool was heated and clean. Near restaurants and some stores and across from the bay. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    Only suggestion would be some towel hooks in the bathroom area, a full length mirror and the pool staying open til 10pm.

    5KarenPosted on: 9-2-2024

    Cafe - forgot to book extra day - they accommodated me while I was unable to check back in at scheduled time due to being at work,

    Killed two spiders - smelled musty - sketchy guest - thin walls can hear most things - rude staff

    10Verified guestPosted on: 8-26-2024

    It was cool and kitschy. Loved the theme and vibe of the place.

    Maybe upgrade the bathroom at some point. Though shower pressure was amazing.

    10KennethPosted on: 8-20-2024

    AC blows cold. A bit overpriced but there is a cafe onsite. Rooms looked clean. TV was big and had lots of channels.

    10JamiPosted on: 6-29-2024

    Easy access to highway. Good air conditioner. Movies at the pool on Saturdays.

    The staff was friendly. Coffee was great and affordable

    Location. Atmosphere was not cozy. Old bathrooms. Overrated pool and deceptive pictures

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-18-2024

    Convenient location

    The rooms are terrible. It so outdated. First thing I got in the room is to kill bugs. This hotel is no where near 3-star.
