Friendly staffGreat location
MaryUnited StatesThe location was very good - 1-2 blocks to the beach with many places to eat. Room (like an apartment) was very spaciou
I had basically a 1 room apartment for the price of a hotel room. Couch, table, chairs, separate bath and bed. It was very nice. Also, great location.

Payment & property
Paid when you book, not at the desk.
Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.
The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.
What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Aarangi Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Aarangi Motel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Aarangi Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Aarangi Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Aarangi Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Aarangi Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Aarangi Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
