The Staff was amazing, Super Clean every where on the premisses inside and out. Conveniently located close to Aquarium, cannery row, beaches, and the wharf. Affordably priced, nice and quite too! The 3 beds in a room was spacious. Total bonus for big families.
The only issue we had was the shotty wifi. It kept clocking and kicking us out when streaming Netflix. The pool was cold too. Its more like an out door pool because its opened ontop. So it's not closed off to the cold weather. So awesome for Summer but for winter visits its for the cold swimmers.
The room is clean and spacious, relatively updated. Room looks better than the outside look for sure.
Chose this hotel for the pool. It was pretty cold to swim there in the winter. Kids still enjoyed it though
We need a place to stay where we could have our own beds and El Castell had what we're were looking for to address that need.. upon arrival, the reception employee was nice & friendly. The room was clean upon arriving with theba/c already going. The amenities were there (TV, microwave, refrigerator, etc.). The room was spacious, not feeling cramped at all. The bathroom was fully stocked with towels as well as bath soaps and lotions from dispensers. Our stay was great and for the most part it was a quiet location. Parking was plenty if we could not be parked next to the room, but found no issue. There is a covered pool on the premises which we did jotbhetbtonuse, but looked relaxing. The location was fine.it was several minutes to downtown or access to the main highways. There are some restaurants nearby if you wanted to stay close to the place. Overall, the motel in my opinion perfect for a family who needs comfort and space so they can focus their time on their trip.
The only concern was the entry to the restroom. There is a two to three inch step up into the bathroom that we discovered. We placed an extra garbage can near in front the entryway to remind us of the different level stepping up or down from the bathroom.
Staff was very kind and helpful. The room was clean. One of the beds was super uncomfortable the other 2 were fine. My main complaint would be the room backed up to a public side walk, and even though the windows did lock, I didn't feel was the safest. It was just me and my 4 young children. There wasn't a phone in the room, and one night the people up stairs were banging around for hours and I wasnt able to get in touch with the front desk at all. Another night at 3 am, some people were in the parking lot right out in front of my room with extremely loud music. My kids enjoyed the pool.
It’s a good spot. Cheap but valuable for the price. Easy to access and plenty parking space
It’s really noisy with the airport next to it
N.A.
They have a laundry room.
I booked this property as it said it had a pool which was heated. In no way was that pool heated in the middle of January. The rooms were so noisy and our shower head didn’t work.
