Pros:

Old remodeled mostly single story motel RIGHT on loud, smelly El Camino. They did a reasonable face-lift (new paint, new bathrooms) but its basically still a loud roadside motel. It is VERY loud at night, and the bedding (sheets) are old & pilled. Does not look or feel like the glam-photos

Pros:

The room was misrepresented as a suite and a rate was way too high for a dark, windowless den with a closet instead of a living room. Futon in this living room closet looked like it was brought from a dorm room. If we didn’t show up late in the day we would have gone elsewhere. The place calls itself a boutique hotel - pictures of the property misrepresented its overall appearance of a true motel. If we knew it was a motel we would have never booked here. I would like to get my money back.
