we stayed here on a church retreat in october of 06'. I am now taking my family down two times this summer b/c the price is so affordable and the location to the beach and shops was perfect. We will come back again and again. The rooms were clean and provided the needs for our stay.

Clean and very affordable... almost impossible to find a cheaper place and this one is managed very well by an older couple that takes care of you. Typical older building in OC w/a few hints like old door knobs, slightly sagging floors, and main door if you notice that sort of thing. Otherwise its a basic place that's kept up well and is maybe four blocks from the boadwalk near the north/Wonderland end. AC unit looked brand new and cooled down my small room (for one person) in seconds. You can save more $ like I did and just get the room and use a hallway bathroom. The place was not full and I don't remember ever seeing anyone else in them during the two days I stayed there. No tv except in the comfy living room. Don't know about other rooms though. I did have a dorm size fridge in mine. I had room # 6 which was nice bc it was at the end of the hall and not only was there no one walking past ever but the side window is facing the ocean (though there isn't a view of it) and the sea breezes shoot right in..... ahhhhh. If you like quiet, and are happy w/the basics, then def. stay here!
