The room was not clean the sheets had stains and hair on them.The bathroom was not clean. The tub had one door which threw water on the floor. there was a slit in the bathroom window where someone can see you through the bathroom. no cable to watch. the neighbors partied all night there was no control Bc no one at the property you can’t get anyone in the front to check in no one answers the phone or physically there this hotel. is not worth the location which was the only positive and free beach chairs.

Very nice hotel about a block from the beach. Super clean rooms, free snacks in room, excellent & helpful staff. Beds were comfortable. Our room even had a view of the beach which was a bonus! Parking is limited & first come, but the staff is very helpful in finding you a spot. Several restaurants & areas to hang out in walking distance of the hotel. Beautiful courtyard to relax in & overall the hotel is quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed this hotel, which has a great location. My main criticism was rather the poor Wi-Fi.

The location is nice and the room is clean. The staff is friendly if they're around. However, there's a major problem: the parking. There are 12-14 parking spots for 16 rooms. So if you're one of the unlucky ones (like we were), you're in trouble. The nearby paid parking lots have a "4-hour" time limit so I ended up having to walk out at 4 AM just to extend it by 4 more hours. I strongly recommend that you check-in early to either avoid the problem or get the staff to at least suggest what you can do. Also, not sure if it matters but the breakfast is not a "hot" (i.e., continental) breakfast.

Easy Stay

Nice room. Clean and wait staff helpful. Could use a hair dryer, but this is normal for non chain hotels. Courtyard is fantastic and nice way to meet other guests. Michael
