Could have been better
The location was good, the staff upon checking in were nice & helplful. The overall impression of the buildings is they are well worn and tired. Our room had a musty smell when we didn't run the a/c full blast. The beds were nice and comfortable. The a/c unit doesn't have fine controls. It was either a really cold blast or it got semi-muggy in the room. There is free WiFi but the signal would cut out from time to time. The room was outfitted with a bar-fridge and microwave. The trouble started when we showered and the drain wouldn't drain quickly. Next day after some beach time at Mission Beach, my son had a shower and the shower/tub drain would not take away the water at all. The maintenance guy came twice to try and remove whatever was blocking the flow. That took about 25 minutes. He left to get another tool he said... I waited 20 minutes... he never returned for the third time. I decided to just towel myself down with soap and rinse a few times. We had to check-out and head back to LAX. The front desk was no help, the fellow just said, "Your paid in full" and offered a mumbled apology, I think. It was a budget motel stay but I wouldn't recommend it. Earlier reviews seemed to make it appear to be good for the price. Obviously I disagree.
