I like the location although several businesses in the area have closed down. The hotel was just ok and I could hear everything in the adjoining room including when they came back to the room at midnight and were talking not that loudly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room which was shown in the Hotles.com picture was not what I got. My room was a very old room with very worn furniture and bed mattress was not comfortable. The pillows were smelling. I asked for a better room and they said since it was fully paid from the third party so they can not do anything.

The room was newly renovated. We loved the design, is was so cute and trendy. The king bed was sooooo soft and comfortable. Slept like a dream. Breakfast was delicious and the breakfast staff were very friendly. We stayed when there was a huge discount off the original price. Happy to be able to experience this hotel that would have otherwise been out of our price range.

Disappointing

This is a motel that has converted one hallway and 2 floors to hotel rooms. The room size (and bed quality) was great but this is not for a business traveler. Front desk staff were nice/helpful but the area and condition of hotel was subpar. Also no soap in the bathroom, what looked like stains (blood) in the shower and shower door didn’t close. Quality of entire experience was poor.

Worst Hotel Stay Ever

The room we stayed in for 2 nights looked nothing like the pictures on the Hotels.com website. Attached photos speak for themselves. Worn out dated furniture, dirty smelly carpet, soggy mattress with polyester sheets, small window facing the interior car park (ours was a "dog friendly" first floor handicap room) Breakfast room is tiny and seats max 12 people. Breakfast: choice of prepacked egg sandwich warmed up in microwave, toast with avocado/mayonaise spread, or yoghurt and fruit. Parking spaces on the inner part of the property are extremely narrow and fill up quickly. Outside parking lot is dark. We were approached by a homeless person there one night - scary. Hotels.com website stated pet fee was $ 40 maximum per stay, but we were charged $40 per night plus tax. The fornt desk clerk said the website needed to be updated.

Price reflects what is delivered - a decent room with free breakfast & free parking. Don’t expect much more. Friendly front desk but housekeeping left the soap & shampoo receptacles empty. Found that out while in shower. Otherwise OK stay.

Great Price & Location

really nice Inn super close to the beach. Comfy bed & super clean. Parking is VERY small but I’m glad they have it. No complaints really w/our stay, our check in staff was OKAY & when we were ready to check out there was nobody there, just left the key in a little tray. Would def consider staying here again for the price & location.
