Don't stay here. The pictures look a lot better than it actually is. Its very run down and nosy. Its like living a getto or a third world country. The room is very dirty. There are burn marks on the bed spread, bathroom is disgusting. The whole place smells. Your car is not safe.

Back to Motel Mediterran for Me

The last renovation of my room was more of "just fix it up enough". The bed was not comfortable at all.

Terrible!

This place was the worst. Tweekers everywhere and all kinds of shady stuff going on, cars in and out all night. The rooms a/c didnt work and the place still had bits of trash on the floor. If it wasnt so late when i had arrived and the fact that i had already paid through the app., i would have never stayed there. Never will again, trust me...go someplace else

The toilet did not work since I got there, the wall was chipping out, towels were stained, the staff was nice but there were a lot of noice with certain guest in several rooms like a tweek fest not a couple kind of noise. It was hot and the ac didn’t really work either. If you are single it be ok but not suited for a family stay.
