    Clean, cheap stay near the airport.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Parking was very difficult, but only because I was driving a huge cargo van.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great price. Safe. Simple. A little run down.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Good

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We dont recommend staying here.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Otherwise, the place was very dirty. The walls were dirty and with many chips and cracks needing repair; the dresser in the room was a disaster, the heating/cooling element was filthy and in extremely unkept condition and looking like it was ready to fall apart. I could go on but I will not.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Me gustó todo muy bien cuando regrese me voy a hospedadar ahí mismo

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Good place to stay overnight!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was great. Perfect for just one night but could see staying a few days

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Nice place. Walkable to the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds where I was going. Great staff. Clean rooms.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    An older motel, but well kept. Room was clean and well maintained. I only had two issues, really more of inconveniences. First, there was no place to hang any clothing, not even a hook on the wall. Second, all the lighting was overhead, there wasn't a bedside lamp. One overhead light did have a dimmer which softened the effect. Overall, it was great value for the cost and I'd definitely stay here again.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    A great location across the freeway from the Orange County fairgrounds. It's clean and basic, but rooms do have a fridge and microwave. If you have clothing that needs to be hung, you will want to bring a portable rack for that purpose.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great quiet property, relaxing environment. However, the microwave was missing & AC was not functioning properly.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Good value

  • Engine customer May 2026

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Clean comfortable safe quiet

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Squeaky bed left no room for the imagination. The mirror wall was a nice 90’s touch.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Clean room free parking

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Was just fine for a few nights. Nothing fancy but price was great

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    This is a very expensive area in Southern California. I needed a budget room for 2 nights and this met my need very well. Relatively quiet location and very convenient. No onsite amenities that I was aware of.
