Crystal Lodge Motel

Clean and comfortable room, helpful staff, free parking, convenient location, good value!

I had stayed here one other time for a quick overnight. It was less expensive than most and not the typical place I book. I usually stay at 4 or 5 star places but knew this place was easy, clean, comfortable and simple. The manager was nice, friendly and it was a fast check-in. The room was clean, everything functioned, the pillows and bed were much better than many higher end places that have been terrible. It does not have other creature comforts (if you are looking for resort features) as it's a motel, but it's a great little place! Parking and access was easy and the location is fantastic in relation to getting to many things like downtown & the Main Street walk (which is becoming like the 3rd Street Promenade that Santa Monica is famous for). There are many restaurants, shops and things to do, all within a couple minute drive. The room was definitely worth the cost and if you are looking for a place to rest your head, crash out or stay over night, this place works well. If you are looking for a resort experience or all the amenities of a full service hotel with a spa, pool, restaurant, bar, etc., then this would not be your place. I have been twice now and both times were about the same experience...consistent, worked great and I was happy that I stayed. AC worked well, shower pressure was fantastic and the bathroom was spacious. The only thing negative would be the artificial/chemical "Glade" type freshener which those belong in the trash. Great Motel & Great Staff!

This place is really good value, location is very convenient, and it has everything you need. Quiet, comfortable bed, shower new and good water pressure, kitchenette with large fridge, parking. We stayed here to go to the Channel Islands National Park and it was very convenient. Restaurants nearby.
