Great location.

Beds should be better at a hotel with this price point. Great location. Some parking on street behind hotel. Be careful of parking hours. Bikes were provided but of minimal quality.

Great location right across from the beach and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The property itself is a 60 year old property with the attendant ills of an old property. The rooms are small and we could hear every foot step of our upstairs neighbors ( I think they were a family of full time residents ) . Our A/C / heating unit was broken so we were given a portable unit which worked fine. Our toilet clogged within the first hour and the staff quickly fixed it. The staff was friendly and quickly fixed our issues but the room ( a suite ) was small and noisy. So again this is a great location but old property and noisy if on the lower level.

Air conditioner stuck on 80degree high heat mode and the “engineer” brought a fan from the 70’s and said “here’s a fan, air conditioner broken, check back tomorrow” and walked out.. lol, it was a sauna in the room. He didn’t even look at it to try to fix it. He was super rude. Thankfully the front desk gave us a new room which was nice. Also, the valet gets very backed up when they are busy so you could be waiting 30 min to get your car. $340 a night is purely for the location.

Not a relaxing stay- like a motel

This is a touched up motel. The bathrooms are tiny and outdated. Our heater didn’t work the first night and we froze all night. The walls are thin and our neighbors kept us up with music until midnight. Do NOT stay here if you are traveling with family and want a relaxing stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property a lot! The staff was excellent from the front desk to the valet parking to the cleaning crew. The only reason I just can’t give this place five stars is that the bed is kind of mediocre and the pillows were quite lumpy and uncomfortable. The bathroom was a little weird with the toilet being super close to one wall. But overall the place was impeccably clean, the staff was fantastic and the walkability of the area was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again. I might just bring my own pillow.
