    Great hotel right on the beach. There is on street parking nearby and easy to walk to. The staff is friendly and accommodating to requests. Fire pit in the evening is a great touch to listen to the waves.

    Old school motel built in 1951 that’s been completely updated we loved it takes you back. Room was nice and clean and basic. We stayed on street level it could be noisy if there was a lot of traffic but it was tolerable and wouldn’t make me not choose this place. Walk to the beach is literally 30 seconds away. And one block from all shopping and restaurants. And staff was great. Dr

    We stayed 3 days and had a lovely time though the front desk ladies were typically a little clueless about amenities. The rooms have been remodeled but there were some interesting decisions made during the remodel; night stand only on one side of the bed, no full length mirror were 2 minor and who thinks barn doors on bathrooms are a good idea. The room also stayed relatively humid all night even with the AC set low and on dehumidifier mode. Don't expect an ice machine on site or wifi that is worth a damn. Overall though we did enjoy the place and for 2 people it was an affordable place to stay right on the beach just don't expect more than a basic room and board.

    We had a room next to an alley. The alley had homeless people and garbage cans. There was a big cockroach inside our room. We couldn’t open the window because there was no privacy and it faced a wall. Claustrophobic sensation. The lighting was uncomfortable. Smelled like bleach the whole time. We told the staff about the cockroach and they didn’t seem to care. No even an “am sorry”. Hotels can’t guarantee 100% they will be perfect. No business can. And we, as customers have to know that mistakes will happen. The reason im writing this review is not because of the cockrach. Is because they didn’t handle this situations properly. Lots of things to improve.
