I think for the price it was a pleasant surprise. The rooms, while on the small size, were perfect for what we needed. They were clean, well lit (with light options). It was a little to 'matchy matchy' as in decor/flooring, but it looked nice enough. I sent a text and they responded quickly with wifi information (free wifi is nice and it was pretty quick speed). Located close to the Casino (we were there for a pool tournament) and nice that there was a Human Bean Coffee shop with a walk up window across the street, because there was no coffee maker in the room- I would advise at least this along with the at least coffee filters and maybe a beginning pack of ground coffee. Office was not open early enough/consistent enough to get coffee from. Owner/Manager was friendly and helpful after I informed him of a problem with the vending machine the night before. I would say maybe not have Trailers with flat tires setting up permanent 'residence' in the parking lot, and I would think it would be good if parking sports were assigned to the rooms (we did not have any problem getting a spot, but it would be better that way I believe). Overall it was a good experience and we will be back.

Great to hear you enjoyed your stay! we are thinking of opening up the office earlier in the morning this summer. I completely agree with you about that darn trailer, it has been here so long it is even on google earth. We just got the title and are selling it asap. But we really ejoy the feedback and can't wait until you visit again.

Hi JoanSo sorry it was sooo Hot! it was one-of-a-kind weather for sure here. we do have coffee in the office but are also getting a pot for guests who get up super early to. (Someone started a fire with a coffee pot, so we serve it in the office now). Please come back soon so we can make that 4 a 5. There was a strange individual that couldnt seem to remember his room number though. I bet he was the culprit. Thank you for your review though it helps us better your stay next time.

It is an odd check in system. They send you a code. Door doesn't automaticaly lock behind you so double check before you leave your room. Located up on side of hill so don't get much road noise. Never saw the office open and no coffee available even during started hours. But room was clean and comfortable. My husband did find a maintenance man who brought a baggie of ice for my swollen knee and a fan.

The owner was extremely helpful! Made extra sure we had everything we needed. Even gave us a restaurant suggestion that was the best Mexican food we’ve eaten outside of Mexico! Pubertal Vallarta Mexican! Quiet even though you are close to the highway. It’s an older hotel but they are really working hard to make it a good one! We would definitely go back.

It was a good place to stay, although there was a lot of traffic noise, but actually it kind of sounded like the ocean waves! One thing to be aware of, the 2 driveways onto the property are very steep and kind of narrow. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean. The bathroom was very large.

Ghost Shower
Central location, very clean, terrible sleep. The bed felt like we were staying on a pull out couch. The shower would turn on and off throughout the night. The LED light on the TV would randomly turn on and off throughout the night illuminating the room. Walls paper thin could hear people having normal-low conversations all night. Their prices need to reflect what the rooms actually are.

Hi Anthony,So sorry you didn't feel that your stay was worth the money. We pride ourselves on being the most affordable in town and 149 on a Saturday during peak season is the lowest possible rate offered within 150 miles. I am going in right now to see what the shower is doing and what can be done with the tv's led light? Winter rates sit around 69 so please come back and give us a chance to remedy your opinion of us during a more affordable season.Thank you for the review Anthony !

The new owners went out of their way to make our stay a positive one. Expedia screwed up our reservation, resulting in our not having enough beds for our party. The owners made every effort to secure us something that would suit our needs (despite being fully booked) and were so positive and accommodating. They really went the extra mile. Bottom line, Sea Echo is excellent, but *don't* reserve through Expedia! Both Expedia and their travel insurance partner (Generali) will not take care of their customers in need of help, even if Expedia makes the mistake. Be sure to book directly with Sea Echo, because they'll take good care of you.

What a great review to wake up to. We definitely care about "you" our guests and want your stay to be great! From the snacks in our vending machines to deciding the right artwork that will eventually go on the walls, ultimately it is all for you. It makes us so happy to hear that someone actually sees that we truly care. Expedia also has been a great partner for getting business to us, but sometimes all of us miss the mark. Just look at our 2 out of 5 reviews. (growl) but ultimately, we all have "you" the guest in mind. Please come back soon, we have a theater room coming! It was such a pleasure having you!
