Although next to the freeway, it’s surprisingly quiet. Room is spacious and has what is necessary. Beds are comfortable and the room appeared clean upon entering. Exactly what i needed for a one night stay before a day at Legoland. I have a toddler and felt safe.

I like how close it is to the Ocean. The cooler weather because of its close to Pacific Ocean. There seems to be ann expensive mode unlike Motel 6 prices of the past times. That's bad, and insects are in many rooms and the bugs Annoy me when I am trying to sleep. Come See!
