There was an issue with my reservation and the front desk had a TERRIBLE time trying to fix it. It was super stressful and inconvenient. Also the room was $30 more on Expedia compared to the front text amount. I will NOT be using Expedia ever again!! Caused strain to my relationship an overall awful experience.

Very good for a road trip overnight stay
It was positive experience for a 1 night stay: the room was spacy and with fridge as well as coffee machine, quiet - all OK. The location is still east walking distance to the beach and downtown, many coffee shops and vegan eating place around, also Trader's Joe and Enterprise rental car.

There were two signs on opposite sides of the street for this hotel and it was confusing. The side I went to, the door to the entrance was locked and there was a bell you were supposed to ring. The bell didn't work. I stood out there for a while, trying to look up the phone number for the hotel to call their lobby. Finally, someone came and buzzed me in. The check-in was smooth. Afterward, I couldn't find the room and came back to get help. Same thing, tried to press the button - she never came so I went around the building again, in the rain, looking for the room. The room was all the way in the back and around the corner and not easy to identify. The room was clean and comfortable.
