Travelodge Ocean Front

I wanted a place to wake up to overlooking the Ocean for the holidays.. without it costing me a mortgage.. this place ticked the boxes and based on the reviews I decided to give it a go without too much expectation. I can honestly say this was a very pleasant experience for me. The room was big and clean. No bugs. It was family friendly and plenty of room for my toddler to run around. The balcony was decent and semi private. It was lovely having breakfast and a coffee overlooking the beach/ocean. Yes there was a road immediately in front of us with bus stops and a couple of homeless people camping outside but they didn't bother us at all even when we walked past them to go across to the beach. There was a door to take as a shortcut from the hotel to the beach also, which was helpful. The shower was hot and a decent pressure and there was a bathtub which my toddler made the most of. There was a fridge and microwave in the room that was handy and a dining table with comfortable seats. There was a vending machine for snacks and drinks in the hallway. There was a coffee machine in the room, however, I could not stomach the coffee supplied. It was nasty (this wasn't the only hotel we stayed in that offered the same coffee/set up so it seems to be becoming a new standard at budget hotels). I'm thankful to have brought my own as well as a back up. But this is the only thing i found to be not so great. There was plenty of parking on site and no extra charge. Above all I felt safe here, which is especially important travelling with a child. I recommend the ocean view room(s). I would definitely stay here again, but probably for a long weekend or a few days next time. Thank you.

This property has a great location with its proximity to the beach. If you pay the upgrade fee, you can have an ocean view, which is very nice. The staff were good. The room had what we needed and was clean. The property itself is old and run down. While the location is great, there are homeless people sleeping and living just across from the property and you get the joy of looking at them while trying to enjoy the ocean view from your room. There is also a very busy bus line just outside the hotel and again a visual obstruction to the ocean. With all that said, if there were no homeless, buses or run down property, then the price of the room would be 3-4X more. We booked it for the economical advantage given its closeness to the beach.

The balcony ocean view made our stay awesome!Could be a 5 star if they put microwaves in the room. It's very basic as far as amenities go but you can't beat the location and price! The hospitality service was awesome. But they definitely need to put microwaves in the rooms.

Great location! Right across the street from the sand on the beach. The hotel is in bad need of a remodel. Large broken mirror as you enter for the parking area. Homeless person sleeping in the garage, old furnishings throughout the entire hotel ,wooden bath fixtures seem unsanitary – front desk not very friendly. Balcony had nice view, but the floor was in bad shape. This is not a good representation of This hotel chain. Somebody needs to spend some money on this property as it could be charging higher rates if it was in better condition. I called to complement the head housekeeping And was told I could not talk to them. The man that I spoke to said he was a general manager and hung up on me.

June 24-28, 2024 We are senior (91 & 72), disabled (walking canes) visitors coming to this area of So. Cal. for the first time.. usually go to San Diego area. I chose this hotel from Google for it's proximity to the ocean. We are not beach-goers, but want a place to see, hear, and smell the ocean from our room. However, it is a very short walk (not crossing any streets) to the sand/water's edge from our hotel. Our phone GPS took us right to the hotel, and we easily parked in the below-ground parking. The only elevator took us to the first floor Registration Desk for a quick & easy check-in. Our room on the 2nd floor had a beautiful, panoramic view of the ocean from our balcony, a comfortable King bed, a mini-fridg, mini microwave, mini-coffee maker and a roomy bathroom, (though lighting was POOR). I was told the only "Accessible" rooms did not have ocean views, so ours had a regular bathtub, but I think ALL rooms should have grab-bars in every tubs for Guest safety. We spent much of our visit with relatives and acting like tourists (Queen Mary & Disneyland!), but mornings and evenings in our room we're very enjoyable, relaxing, and comfortable. Previously, the hotels we've stayed at offer, minimum, Continental breakfast and fresh coffee each morning. This hotel only offers fresh coffee on the 1st floor, near the Registration desk.. knowing this in advance, we brought our own muffins! The hotel was clean and comfortable, staff was friendly & helpful, and location was just what we wanted. I would recommend this site to others, and would likely return to this location on a subsequent visit.
