Overall its a fly by night hotel. Just because we found a baggie of "white powder" on the bathroom floor. And some creepy old lady was staring us down at the pool. Oh, and the cleaning ladies dress like poor s***s. So basically I wouldn't stay here again.

Just got the bill for an 11 night stay at this travelodge formerly "Oceana Inn". We have been staying here for the past 13 years once or twice a year. The hotel is okay and they provide adequit service. After years of seeing the owners tack on one fee after another this last fee "linen service" plus "marketing fee" is... More

We checked in, but after seeing the room we decided to not stay there. That place needs an in-depth cleaning! And, everything needs replacement. Yes, the curtains (eeww), the bedding, the blankets, the carpet, the furniture. The rooms and the bathrooms need to be repainted!! I felt like I should toss my jeans into the laundry basket after sitting on... More

We chose this place for price, and more-or-less good reviews. Maybe it is good value for the money, but I would not recommend my friends staying here. It is on a busy street, so you hear cars in your room. Rooms are although spacious, a bit "tired": some renovation and fresher furniture would be nice. Also, the walls and ceiling... More

We checked in late at night, on a whim, in hindsight we sure do wish we would have checked references. Upon check in we were told that we could have a late check out of 12 pm. The following morning, my fourteen year old walked to the store, as the breakfast offered was disgusting, and when he came back in,... More

I didn't have any truly bad experiences here, but I agree with other reviewers that this is a place to spend a night or two. The front desk staff was friendly, the room was clean and sufficient for our purpose of a place to sleep. It came with a microwave, a small fridge, and the wifi worked very well. However,... More

Maybe it's changed names, but if it has the same owners, run away, run away! I booked it online, and the service was slow and rude when I arrived. The pool they advertised was closed, it was the reason I paid their high price. The rooms were ugly, and they were having work done on some, but didn't take down... More
