Pros: There is no breakfast included but you have a lot of places accross the street. The room was nice and clean. there is parking and the bed was really comfortable.
Cons: It's not super close to the beach, you have to walk like 20 minutes, but that's ok so you get to see the surroundings.
8,0 Excellent
Pros: The friendliness of the staff.
Cons: It was very difficult to get a hold of any staff prior to my arrival. I had a question to ask them. NO A/C.
2,0 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: The room had no fan or air conditioning. The quality of the curtains were below standard and made the room feel very shabby. The chair provide to sit on was a metal folding chair. The bed extremely soft in the middle and squeaked when you moved in it.
6,7 Good
Pros: No breakfast or coffee or tea
Cons: There was no air conditioning, just a box fan. I wasn't aware of being alerted to this fact. It was just very primitive and funky, even though it was clean, and the bed itself was comfortable. There was someone talking loudly early morning, and it came through my wall heater like a speaker. The woman who checked me in was lovely... certainly no complaints about the staff. It's just run down. I am a designer, and it would take very little money to do some simple upgrades.

5,0 Okay
Pros: The big bed was comfortable. There was complimentary shampoo and plenty of decent towels. There is a lovely courtyard in the back. It was nice to have USB charging ports on both end tables.
Cons: Heater did not work. Billed as a "family room" the two beds for kids were stuck in an alcove with barely room to get in and out of bed. There's no place to put your toiletries in the bathroom and no other mirror besides the one over the sink. There's no dresser (but they do provide one of those luggage stands)
6,3 Good
Pros: Bed was very comfortable. Only short ride to the beaches.
Cons: Located off the main street a little directly behind Jack in the box with alley in between that youths etc use. Made us feel a little unsafe while waiting for lifts. Room has no aircon. Fan wobbled and was loud. Door knob for bathroom was falling apart.

Pros: Clean

3,1 Mediocre
Pros: I liked the sign prohibiting prostitution.
Cons: Except for fresh sheets and towels, the room had not been cleaned recently. The door handle and door were grimy and the tile floor was dirty. Upholstered chair was stained and leather ottoman was dirty. Sometimes simple unadorned rooms and simple motels like this can be fine, when they are clean and don't smell awful. My impression is these people just aren't trying.
