Location was great! The motel, not so much!
Pros:

The location was excellent and I liked being on the marina, looking at the water outside of our room was very nice, having a outside patio was good. I liked our room housekeeper.

Cons:

Okay, where do I start:
We were on the bottom floor and it smelled a bit musty.
The painting on the wall was had pieces of wall falling off.
The carpet needs to be replaced in the hall and was coming up in the room.
The tub drained very slowly.
I asked for another wash cloth and they did not have any cleaned. To give the housekeeper credit, she did bring me some later, she was nice.
We had no coffee machine in the room, the ice maker was broken for the season. They did make small bags of ice, which we had to ask for.
The table in our room was not stable, the lighting was poor and dark.
The outside patio was nice, but needed nice soft welcoming lighting, a plant or two - how about a palm tree? It needs a new paint job.
The liquor store market next door was closed.
We were charged $50 for one lost key. We paid $260 a night - not cheap.
They wanted $50 /hr for a late check out, and $1 each to watch our bags.

Man what I could do with this property!!!

Not as nice as the pictures. Too dirty to be romantic. Would not recommend.
Cons:

The balcony was covered in bird poop. The floor sits about 2-3inches off the ground. The bathroom was dirty with urine on the toilet. The mini fridge and microwave were outdated. The closet didn’t even have a door on it. For this to be an ocean/marina front property they need to desperately upgrade and clean it. We left immediately.

Hyvä sijainti, kahvia oli saatavilla aulasta
Pros:

Sijainti oli hyvä ja rauhallinen. Lyhyt matka Venice Beachille. Kahvia sai aulasta.

Cons:

Aukassa olisi voinut olla WC Kokolattiamatto oli aika nuhjaantunut, teraasi aika likainen, parveke olisi ollut kiva. Pyyhkeeni oli rikki.
