I should have read the reviews more thoroughly before booking here. I loved the location, super close to restaurants, cafes, the harbor & Camp Pendleton. The rooms are in fact horrible, as soon as i entered my room- i was hit with a horrible smell. It was a mix of dog pee, cigarettes & mildew. There was a huge blood stain in the carpet & a few smaller ones as well. Not to mention, right after i had got done checking in- someone who had just checked in before me came back & expressed how he could not stay there. He told the guy at the front desk that when he walked in, there were tons of roaches. Luckily, i did not see any in my room. I would have 100% asked for a refund & have went somewhere else but i simply did not have the extra money to book another hotel/motel, especially for my 4 night stay. This is a place you go to when you are down on your luck or just one night. I will not come back- such a beautiful location but the rooms are simply terrible.
