Enjoyed my stay at Harbor Inn & Suites!
Pros:

The manager was incredible and very considerate of my situation! As a single mother, I very much appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the staff. I would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

In the morning of my stay, I think there was a domestic or some sort of problem in the room below me. A lady was screaming non-stop. Then the police came. It was a whole ordeal. Being a single mother with an infant, I didn't rly appreciate this troubling situation. I decided to stay in my room with my baby while everything was going down. Didn't like being trapped in my room, but I didn't want to accidentally get roped into whatever was going on.

Pros:

Staff was very friendly and helpful

Cons:

My Husband is handicapped. The bed in the handicapped room is so high, he could not transfer from his wheelchair to the bed. He can't stand up. I hand to lift him and use a transfer board. It was really a struggle to get him on the bed with such a large difference in heigth. We would not be able to stay there again. Go in there with someone in a wheelchair and see for yourself.

Charm With a Grain of Salt.
Pros:

Great location off the freeway and the lady checking me in was very nice and efficient. The rooms left a lot to be desired and they don't have a pool or jaccuzi. It is walking distance to an In and Out and a Dennys but there were some homeless people on my walk there so proceeded with caution.

Cons:

The chair for the table had a bar at the bottom between the legs about an inch off the ground and I kicked it really hard with my foot. The bed springs kept popping and the bed was way too soft.

Pros:

The room was big.

Cons:

No fan in the bathroom, meant an open window that feels very exposed. The outside door does not seal tight and you can hear everything.

Short n yucky
Pros:

Close to the beach

Cons:

Well first off the whole frame of the bed was broken. There was a huge hole in the bathtub where it was all rusted. There was cockroaches on the walls and in the back window to the alley had no screen or lock on it. The place looks nice on the pictures and from our side but the rooms inside are a disaster

Filthy and very rundown.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Very rundown and beaten up room. Smelled very musty. Could not sleep in the second bedroom because it was so musty. Just felt awfully dirty and unsanitary. I was so upset because the only reason I booked this room was because it had a second bedroom, which we unfortunately could not use.
