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.

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.

Verified traveller

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!

Terry

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!

What an adorable little vintage motel! First of all, the owners are so kind and friendly! The room itself was adorable. Basic in terms of decor but nicely appointed. Extremely clean and stocked with bathing necessities and an awesome hair dryer! Comfy bed, quiet safe room and location. Loved it! Room was small so best for a couple but excellent location off 5 freeway. The community kitchen was a cool concept- coffee maker, small fridge, and stove to cook your own food if you wish. Thank you for a great stay!
