The hotel is very clean, updated with modern fixtures (excellent shower!), comfortable bed and the manager is very helpful. The rooms are smaller, as was customary when it was built, but this is one of the best remodels I've ever seen of motels from that era. Also, a huge TV! The heater/air conditioner is loud, but if you can get past that, you'll have a clean, pleasant and affordable stay.

Great value for the price

Really cool spot. For the money, totally worth it and I’d go back. Compromises are that the room and bed are small, the window shutters still let in a decent amount of light (could be easily fixed with curtains) and sound deadening could be better as I heard a considerable amount of road noise and talking from the outside. Positives are a spacious and nice shower, parking right outside of the room, and they included small travel deodorant for men and women which was a nice touch, though being honest the star of the show here was value. If you’re really comfort focused maybe paying extra elsewhere makes more sense, but if you’re in town for a day or two and plan to sleep/shower up and be on your way this is a good option. No issues with cleanliness or service at all.

The owners were very welcoming. The property had been nicely & thoughtfully upgraded recently. Unfortunately, during the night, a very loud violent-sounding disturbance occurred in a room next to ours that went on for a couple of hours. Not the owners' fault, but not restful.

Great location at south end of Orange County. Quaint rooms with the necessities. I'd recommend bringing additional pillows and beach towels. Close to beach, restaurants, taverns, fast food markets, off Hwy 5, etc. Compact parking spaces and well lit parking lot. Bed mattresses are ok. All new restoration of interior and exterior of grounds. Great for the price!

The unit was small but clean & neat. The A/C wall unit was not able to be adjusted and was therefore either ON or OFF. When ON it was programmed for 61 degrees. The FAN was not adjustable so it was full blast & very noisy. Quickly got too cold. When OFF the room became too warm and stuffy very quickly. Absent but desired amenities were a chair & desk--& hot water pot for tea/coffee or hot chocolate.

Perfect place! Great deal! No complaints!

The owners were so welcoming and the room was PERFECT. We had checked into another hotel and had an issue and had to find another place in immediately and booked the room and were inside and checked in 15 minutes later. The Calafia Inn was perfect!
