Ocean Palms Motel

So clean, loved the room and amenities. Location was close to shops, restaurants and beach

Nothing to dislike!

We arrived well after check-in time and were given a number to open a box with our room key in it. For some reason Booking erased that part of our conversation so when we got there I had to call for the info and someone answered and we got in. The room was cute. It is not far from the ocean. There was plenty of parking. There was a small fridge. There was a warning about water taking a while to warm up but I didn't have that problem. Perhaps because I didn't get up early.

The beds were on some type of metal stand that made a loud noise if you touched it or if you were heavy and moved during the night.

We loved it. Great room and location! The staff was excellent!

It was perfect!

We picked this hotel mainly for the location, and that part delivered. Parking was straightforward, the area felt safe, and it’s an easy walk to the beach with plenty of good restaurant options nearby. The blackout shades were excellent. The TV worked well and Wi-Fi was fine for basic browsing.

Unfortunately, the room didn’t feel properly turned over when we checked in. We found hairs on the bed, a used face towel hanging on the shower curtain rod, and an open tissue packet near the tea area, which appeared to be left from the prior guest. The AC was also confusing - the temperature controls didn’t seem to work as expected and the room got uncomfortably cold at night on the fan mode. If we turned it off, freeway traffic noise was very loud, which is tough for light sleepers. The bed was okay but not the most comfortable.
