Awesome location, parked the car for the weekend everything is walking distance especially the beach. I'd give it a five star but rooms don't have air conditioner had to sleep with the window open.

We will definitely stay here again based on the location and ease of bringing our dog. The room was dark for sleeping, and the beds were very comfortable and supportive. Room was simple, but had everything we needed. Easy walk to the beach and businesses around town. Staff was friendly and kept the area very clean. It was so quiet, I thought we were the only guests. However, the parking lot was full. Just nice and quiet.

The staff was excellent & the room was clean. However it’s the least comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in—it was so worn out it was sloped on each side. And as other reviews note, the parking lot is tight. Book this place for proximity to the beach & walking around but that’s about it.

Parking spaces were tiny, limited and full of trucks, when I removed my pillow the linen undes was wet with yellowish color that transcended all the way to the mattress, I need to admit that the FD guy was very attentive abd gave me new linens. I wasn’t brave enough to try the coffee maker. AC wasn,t working fine neither the microwave. Surprisedly the night was quiet and it has a great location, 1 block from the beach. Maybe I was unlucky.

The location of this property is amazing!! You are very close to the beach and can easily walk to great restaurants to eat! What frustrated me is that they did not have enough staff (their words) to give clean towels or refresh the room as requested. To get replacement towels on day 2 of a 3 day stay and a quick sweep of the sand, seems reasonable in a $250/night hotel.

Stayed 5 nights, price was reasonable. Very close to beach and restaurants. Partial ocean view from second floor rooms. During the week there was plenty of parking and somewhat quiet except all the loud street machines, garbage trucks, deliveries, sand cleaner, etc., really early in the morning. But Friday thru Sunday was horrible. The parking lot is way too small. Couldn’t find parking if you leave for any reason and parking is supposed to be included. The walls are super thin, heard loud snoring thru the wall next door. No shelves or storage in the bathroom. Bathtub drained really slow. Sheets felt dirty and rough. Floors were dirty when we arrived. No way to check out electronically. Phone didn’t work. Won’t stay again.
