"Pros: 1. Frederick (Sp?) was THE MAN. I came in from a long delayed flight late at night and had to get up VERY early in the morning for a conference. I realized (after reading reviews AFTER booking) that the motel is close to a freeway and that rooms facing the freeway could be noisy. I'm a light sleeper and was very worried about this checking in. I asked Frederick if he could assign me a room facing away from the freeway, and he upgraded me for free so that I could get a quieter room. He went above and beyond and really made a pretty crappy evening of traveling after a long day at work so much better. Can't tell you how much I appreciated his warm welcoming demeanor and taking the extra effort to make sure I was comfortable. 2. The pool and hot tub were great to have after my long days and not very crowded at all (granted it was early October) 3. 4 mins drive from a great beach! Cons: 1. The bed was not great. 2. Sheer curtains were completely see through. The lack of privacy and the intense light from the hallway shining through the windows would have really been a problem but I was able to solve the issue by clipping the shorter side curtains together. Why not just get full blackout or at least not see through curtains? 3. The room smelled musty and the carpet felt pretty gross to walk on."
