We stayed about a week, lots of noise from the freeway just outside the window. I had a accident on the sheet and was charged $10 because of it. The rate for the room never remained the same. The second time I had an accident I tried clearing it myself with some soap and water as I wear Depends, when we had to leave the room for a half hour I then received a phone call saying that I peed the bed so we had to check out. I'm 83 so I do have some problems I offered to pay but that didn't seem to matter but it was how they said it too me was very rude like I did it on purpose

They took out the pool, and put a place for dogs to use. It reeks of urine. So do the sidewalks, stairs, and walkways. Move it to the back. Let pet owners know to not let their animals urinate on them. The freeway noise is unbearable. It’s hard to sleep. The noise is 24/7. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but our fan didn’t work so the bathroom was a sauna. Front desk can be nicer.

This place was incredible! They transformed the pool area into an enclosed dog park, equipped with toys! And the rooms are immaculate, clean, stocked, and very very comfortable! The check in process was easy and everything was explained to me very clearly. There was plenty of parking and it was within walking distance of so many places! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

We needed a temporary place to stay with our cat while the house was having work. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful at check in and check out. The room was large and clean, I loved that it had no carpet and had a great look and a large bathroom. It had a decent size refrigerator as well, which was really nice. Other than the traffic sounds from being next to the freeway ( they did leave ear plugs in the room), the room was nice and quiet, even though we were on the ground floor. I liked that they did clean the room daily as well.

Have stayed MANY times at this 6 motel bc I have better experiences than at the local Sonesta (both of them), Comfort Inn and Suites, and Best Western. The customer service is excellent. Professionally and ethically run ; they clean rooms and grounds daily, have ice on each floor, a terrific selection of cable channels and are centrally located to venues in F.V. and Huntington Beach.Timely in deposit refund…no charge for parking nor pets.
