  • Gave us a bigger room than expected.
  • Spa out of order.

  • Good location.
  • Very dirty. Moldy, cold, loud, gave away my king bed, no breakfast, just cake and juice.

“I have no clued how this hotel was rated 2 stars. The attendant is one person 24 hrs, sleepy at all times. He didn't know we had booked a king bed. When I asked he said he has a king bed room that hasn't been clean a can have it if I want or I can have the queen "clean" room. We agreed to take the queen bed room, the bathroom corners were all black with mold. The doors were so dirty I had to use tissue to touch them, so were the walls. I took pictures of it. If you'd like it I will send them to you so you can improve your services and not sell stuff that does not deserve and rating for 2 star hotels. Continental breakfast was poppy seed cake and cold apple juice and no body touched it.”

  • The rooms and bathroom were large, the bed comfortable.
  • The Travelodge is worn and frayed around the edges with a little grime.

“We arrived at the hotel with some nervousness after reading the reviews. The hotel is probably in the one to two star ranges. But the staff was friendly and responsive to us, the parking wasn't an issue, the location is great (near the beach and downtown) and the price can't be beat. The beds and bedding in the two room suite were comfortable, the hot water hot, the cold water cold the air comfortably warm. The furniture was reasonably good quality if old and worn. The room clearly needs some maintenance, but it didn't detract from our stay--we felt we had reasonable privacy and comfort.”

  • I liked absolutely nothing about this hotel.
  • The mattresses and pillows smelled. There was mold in the shower as well as on the walls and ceiling.

“The hotel room was filthy, not even a 1 star quality. There was dirt/dust build up in every corner, and the bathroom was filled with mold growing inside the shower walls, as well as on the ceiling and walls of the entire room. The pillows and bedding smelled so poorly that I purchased bedding from Costco to make it through the night. This is only a few of the worst details.”

  • Close to beach.
  • Hostile violent staff poorly maintained.

“I have already filed several complaints ken offered a non smoking room with two beds but said that he would charge extra if we used both beds, so I requested a room with a single bed. The only one available was in a smoking room, to which he said "have your single bed smell the smoke and die" followed by several curse words. The counters were peeling, the shower cracked, and the paint and walls in poor repair.”

  • Free high speed internet!

  • The location.
  • Walls were dirty, heater broken, footprints on ceiling, not accommodating to customer's need although things were broken.

“This hotel was garbage! I was disappointed with the quality of the room. It was more upsetting when the staff gave us trouble when we asked for blankets. The room was in poor condition. I would never stay there again.”

  • It had separate rooms for each double bed. Booked as one room with two beds.
  • Extremely run down.

“The hotel was old and run down. Furniture old and wallpaper was patched and dingy. But linens were clean, carpets were clean and bathroom was clean. Way over priced. Have stayed in nicer hotels in area a little farther from beach that was less expensive. For the prices they charge they should be able to do some painting and up keep!”

  • Absolutely nothing.
  • The room smelled horrible, no air conditioning.

“It smelled horrible; we had to sleep with door open. No air conditioning, a 19" TV from the 70's that the color was going out, mold in the bath, stains on the walls, broken fixtures on the dressers, bathroom window was so molded that the wallpaper didnt' stick which revealed the black mold.”
