Continental Inn

“comfortable, reasonable, clean, and handy location”

We've stayed here for a second time now, still very happy with it. Microwave and fridge in the room, GOOD wifi, there's a hot tub (which we didn't use), room somewhat more spacious than some motels. Good service. Would stay here again. GOOD VALUE.

“Very loud street noise”

This hotel was good in some ways but quite bad in others. I'll give the cons first: weekend price was exorbitant for the quality. I paid $309 for Saturday night. I've stayed in way nicer places for much less. The hotel is located on the intersection of two main arteries. The traffic noise level… more

This hotel was good in some ways but quite bad in others. I'll give the cons first: weekend price was exorbitant for the quality. I paid $309 for Saturday night. I've stayed in way nicer places for much less. The hotel is located on the intersection of two main arteries. The traffic noise level was incredibly bad with many drivers who rev their engines or drive suped up motorcycles. We could barely stand the noise with the windows closed. There was no screen on the main window so we couldn't keep it open anyway because of mosquitoes and flies and kitchen smells from the restaurant next door. There was only one chair in the room. The parking lot in the annex was full in the evening when the adjacent restaurant was busy. Pros: Good location for restaurants in walking distance, and easy to get to the beach. Very comfortable bed - better than many hotels I've stayed in. Quiet refrigerator, Keurig, microwave - all functioning. We were in the annex and the room was modernized maybe 20 years ago, but was very clean and felt new enough. Good shower & toilet. This is a two-star level hotel which is fine if loud street noise doesn't bother you.

“Avoid Room 201 If You Like To Watch TV”

Clean and roomy. In room 201 there's a sign above the toilet directing you how to flush so you don't waste water. I guess the toilet runs if you don't push the handle properly? We didn't have a problem with it. The TV is hard to see from the left side of the bed because it's offset due to room desi… more

Clean and roomy. In room 201 there's a sign above the toilet directing you how to flush so you don't waste water. I guess the toilet runs if you don't push the handle properly? We didn't have a problem with it. The TV is hard to see from the left side of the bed because it's offset due to room design. You can see where other guests moved the dresser that the tv sits on so it's not hidden behind this wall. The wall is scraped because of the dresser being pulled forward. We also moved the dresser and tv forward so we could see it. If the tv remote doesn’t work, make sure small remote eye is sitting in front of the tv. It's noisy outside at dusk and dawn; street noise, sirens, garbage trucks. You can also hear the rolling thunder of other guests luggage being moved about in the morning. But the middle of night was quiet. I give this a 3 star rating because even though this review isn't the greatest, we have stayed in much worse places. We chose this place because first off we needed free parking, a fridge, a microwave, the price was right, and the location was good for where we needed to be. Those were our priorities. After checking out the room, we would not have stayed if it wasn't clean enough, and it was, so it met all our criteria. Oh, they advertise a pool and hot tub, and sure enough they were there, but the pool is teeny tiny, only suitable for children, and the hot tub is across the street at the other building property! I like to go back and forth between pool and hot tub and that was virtually impossible here. Can you imagine getting out of the pool and having to walk across the street to get into the hot tub? And then back again if you wanted another swim? Ridiculous. But the pool is too small for adults anyway, so I contemplated just using the hot tub alone. Although I guess you could use it like they do in spas, where you do a hot dip and a cold dip alternately. But not here unless you want to take a hike in between your dips.
