Every motel in lbc is high but this one is pretty clean but $75 on up. Last time I was there I was disappointed the cable was switched out for a converter box. But he did say he gave me a voucher room because he was booked maybe that's why. But the voucher pay the same if not more for a nice room. I guess he figures the homeless don't deserve tv only the worse. Because of this I will find another place to stay when I'm in town. They do have wifi though.

Rooms are always clean. Affordable price averages around $80 - $90 most of the time. Service is great. Looking forward to another stay soon. Also no room deposit.

We arrived and the man was very sweet and gave us a newly renowned room. It was absolutely beautiful with new furniture, beautiful art designs, smelled like paint but can't win them all. Hotel was close to the pier village! The only hassle was that it was on a two way street which can be busy at times. Great stay! Super sweet receptionist!

Great clean room with smoking room just right keeping old school style in this new millennial times of non-smoking rooms being all that motels and hotels officer. Old soul and was pleased when walking in seeing the cigarette tray on the table. Great customer service by front desk.
