Pros: location, earlier check in if available Cons: the walls are so thin we could hear people’s stomping and conversations from other rooms which really affected our sleep, there’s no one on site after 5PM so if you’re having any issues with your lock, your room, or parking, good luck! we paid $25 for overnight parking only to come back with no spot and having to park in the back of the hotel (which was not told to us by the front desk), the towels had hair on them, otherwise the hotel was clean. We would not stay again. Area is sketchy but close by to cool places.

Loved the location. One of the best hotels I have stayed in the area. Well priced and they had great recommendations on local restaurants and even give promos. The only critiques I had was there was hair still all over the bed. The mirror had water spots. The toilet had some stuff around the top of the bowl. Just felt like they might not of cleaned it very well. The side door was hard to open in our room. I would give them another shot and the decorations had a great vibe.

Great beach getaway

Hotel was very nice, great kitchenette with everything you need to make basic meals but also near several great restaurants. Rooms were nice and comfortable. Bidet toilets are very loud and automatically flush - you can hear your neighbors toilet flushing. Beds were confortable but low to the gound so may be a challenge for some. Minimal parking and requires pre booking. There is not a lot of other parking in the area so be sure to book that right away. Overall highly reccomend and would stay here again.

The place was clean and about a block from the beach. But you can hear every sound for a square block in the room. It is not luxury, just sort of average, but clean place.
