Ok, so the photos on Expedia are so pretty. But, they are not exactly what you will find. Some rooms have had some form of renovation, but I’m thinking not all. Our room was #120, right next to the Property Manager’s (Cindy), so we felt immediately safer for some reason. This small 70s-era motel has some long-term renters from what I understand, and some short-term. We pulled in on a Friday to set up for an art festival in Venice. The room smelled clean, looked clean and we were comfortable enough. We left to grab a bite to eat and find a WalMart for pillows (the ones on the queen bed —supposed to be a king-were pretty flat) and when we pulled back in, there was a woman, obviously quite inebriated wandering around trying to find her room, and another man just walked into ours as we were unloading luggage.
Everyone’s entitled to a good time, so we just went with the flow. It wasn’t noisy, deadbolt on the door and a coded number entry. The bed was pretty uncomfortable, but not terrible. We never got to enjoy it during the day because this was a working stay, but there is a large tiki-picnic bench area, a large pool and typical parking horizontal in front of your room. We drive a Transit, so Cindy made accommodations for our large vehicle, but parking is very limited. There are amenities in the room, but I advise bringing your own. Towels don’t match and they are pretty worn, however, they are clean. I wouldn’t give it a terrible rating, but if you are expecting Hampton Inn…
