Motel NOT facing ocean, it's across from a mall with balcony views of shopping center
(website makes it seem otherwise)
Upon arrival, check-in went smoothly with friendly check-in staff...but then I went upstairs.
Though it's supposed to be non-smoking, outside my room door reeked of cigarettes
Inside the room, wet kitchen floor, stained curtains and carpet with saggy uncomfortable beds that look like salvation army rejected them ( not fit to even sell).
The faucet had a constant drip in the kitchenette ( quite annoying) and the linolium in kitchen and bath was moldy and tore up around the edges at the wall and connecting parts ( seams/ molding etc)
The only ceiling fan in the room had cobwebs
The tv remote died and needed to ask staff for new batteries ( the originals were corroded)
Pool was cold ( as expected, thankfully but water not overly chlorinated and water not crystal clear)...Thought about it later and wondered how often they clean it and chlorenate it since the room was inadequately cleaned.
Pros: 1)Affordable 2)kitchen for cooking and a larger shared guest kitchen by the pool with pots/ pans etc. so own cookware and dishes not needed, even has dishwasher 3) location is peak just one bowling alley away from the beach and bowling alley has arcade ( fun experience 😀)
Overall, location peak but motel property itself needs major renovations and proper cleanliness lacking
