Sahara Motel

this is a beachfront property. But it also has rooms that are not on beachfront. I was in a room that was not on a beachfront, but I could tell that that we were in my room came in from the beach because before was wet and sand was trapped to the front door to the shower. It’s not cleaned up well it was not comfortable. But for a brief overnight stay it works. It’s absolutely not anything of comfort or decency. It is a matter of convenience. And price.

This may not be the Four Seasons but the staff and people who worked there were friendlier than any of them!

I had no expectations about this motel as I know I booked on the lower end but this was worse that I had imagined. The minute we opened the room door we were overwhelmed by the smell of mildew/mold. When I mentioned it to the front desk their solution was to send the cleaning staff up with a can of air freshener. That is not a solution just a cover up. The bedspreads we stained, the carpets dirty. The wifi does not work on the 3rd floor and the beds in our room desperately need to be replaced.

It’s an old motel, an OC original, and incredibly overpriced for what you get. Clearly it was inflated for the weekends event and I get it - but still I’d say $175 max for an event and maybe $120 any other time. Wasn’t bad and I knew it wouldn’t be impressive but knowing it was this basic I would’ve opted for a better place at another $75 a night.

I recommend doing research before booking, I booked ocean view and could not view it from the room apparently ocean front is something different.

Our room was never cleaned in the 3 night stay. We asked for new towels because ours didn’t dry after using the first day and despite walking over to the office to ask and asking two different employees, none were provided during the rest of the stay. Stated that they had none clean. When calling the office, no one picked up or returned our message. No one came to clean the room or take out the trash during stay. After being at a music festival in the sand and the rain, not having towels to dry off and clean yourself off was hard.

The location was awesome. Parking was convenient, but tight with a truck. Rooms were clean but in need of an upgrade. No blanket available andbit hot really chilly one night. We dudnt know we would have to vlimb to the 3rd floor...i am disabled andbut was a struggle, especially with luggage. Overall, we'd consider possibly staying there again.

One of the bedspreads had a burn hole in it, and the other had some kind of weird bodily fluid stain on it…

Great location, carpet is very dirty and pubic hairs and grime on bathroom floor. 4 of us, 4 bath towels, 1 hand towel & wash cloth

Perfect location, very nice staff, old hotel but very clean. Only issue was teeny, tiny ants in bathroom area.
