Disliked: Cleanliness
Very unique property and loved the retro vibes. Bathrooms are dates. Upon my first night I killed a roach in the bathroom vanity area. I called the front desk to make them aware and they asked if I had a photo or video. I cleaned up the debris and flushed it. Not sure why they would think I would lie about a roach in the room. I noticed another one in the bed the next morning and did take a pic and video. They did not hesitate to change my room. However, It was sad that it had to be proven to them. After this I had no other issues.

Great location and vibe
Great location, you can see the bay from the parking lot and restaurant on site. Right off of I-5. Old motel, but has been updated well. It has a cool retro theme and vibe. The restaurant gives you a discount as a guest, and had lots of good options at a reasonable price for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you are looking for a comfy and chill place to crash with good access to the area, this is a great place to stay.

Our stay was good. Didn’t spend much time in the room as Sea World and the Zoo are close. However the coffee shop took forever and our coffee was just okay.

The property was clean and the decor was fun. The beds were comfortable and the shower faucet was great. The AC and traffic from the freeway were loud. It was conveniently located to the freeway but the surrounding area was a little sketchy. Good value for the price for a quick vacation.

Though it looked clean, I saw a water bottle and other stiff behind the bed when I was looking for an outlet. The only place I found to plug into was the bedside clock. In the shower they have 3 "boxes" on the wall that contain "body wash," "shampoo," and "shampoo." It took a few tries to figure out how to use these "boxes." There was a tiny soap bar by the sink and that was it for cleaning materials. The pool area had done movie playing Saturday night with the volume cranked way up. It was more than loud enough to necessitate me cranking up the volume of the room TV. The TV had no streaming services, just typical TV channels. This place looks like it was built in the 70s. Remodel a little y'all. Overall, it was just a room. If you just need a flop for the night, it's adequate and no more.
