Room had smoke when I turned on heater

It was good. The only issue I had was when I turned on the heater it started smoking in are room. It didn't smell like smoke but the attendant said it was just a dirty air filter.

My personal experience staying at La Serena Inn was wonderful. The place was nice & clean. The staffs were all friendly and so welcoming. The location is nearby so many restuarants such a Giovanni and a few mins away from the beach. I tried tacos de mexico down the street and that was a disappointment so I highly recommend dont go there. The hotel have a light breakfast option available such as waffles, boil eggs, toast, danishes, coffee, bananas, oranges, I wish they have sausage links though. I will stay here again.

There was only one person on staff when I arrived at 6pm. There was a "back in one hour" sign" hanging on the lobby door. I hate to wait for over an hour to check in. Good breakfast buffet though.
