Charming golf course hotel with convenient central location, easy access to multiple freeways. You are only 20 minutes from beaches, downtown and Snap Dragon.

This was a nice motel in a safe area. It was very reasonably priced. This motel is actually on a golf course which adds to the environment and offers fun. It had large rooms that had been updated. The outside needs to be updated as well, but overall, it was a good place to stay.

We booked our overnight stay through Choice Hotels. This place is anything but “Choice”. When we arrived the receptionist told us there was an $11 resort fee, something that is not mentioned on the booking site (plus, this is far from being a resort). No apology from the desk clerk, just a response of “there’s nothing I can do about it”. This is a pure example of classic “bait and switch”. The outside of this place looks like a poorly maintained motor inn from the 70s with chipped paint and cracked concrete. Do NOT pay extra for the “golf course view”. The most you will get is a view of a tree and a dusty driving range… and this is the best view available (see photo from our room). Another “bait and switch”. The room had no wash cloths or hand towels, and no towel hooks or bars except one over the toilet. We asked for the missing towels and the receptionist said, I'll have to call my housekeeping”. Again, no apology. An hour later we are still waiting for our towels. Choice Hotels calls the part of their “Ascend Collection”. It will have to “ascend“ a long way to make it even halfway decent. This is a place to avoid.

The front desk employee made check-in easy. On entering the property there are no clear signs directing you where to check in. The room was clean and comfortable.

Sink backed up in the middle of the night so I woke up to standing water. Couldn’t go to the bathroom, shower, shave or brush my teeth. No clerk or manager onsite. Security did not pickup the phone. I had to leave for a job so I could not stay waiting around. Terrible experience

It was just a short stopover, but was convenient to where we we to attend a function. Great dining in the area, Thai and a little Mom and Pop Cafe named Janets. We were on the lower floor and as luck would have it the first night noise from upstairs seemed never ending until about 11 pm. I do not know how that could be remedied to reduce noise for the lower level rooms.

Average It was a nice old hotel. They’re trying to upgrade it. The shower didn’t work. You couldn’t turn the shower off to take a bath and it was poor lighting and the TV was pretty small and far away but overall it was OK for the price. it was little much
