The property was in a good location, 2 doors down there's an excellent sandwich shop. Its walking distance to the major street, Pacific, where there are shops and restaurants and also Trader Joes. The beds were comfy. The room was nicely decorated and clean. The air conditioner was a little loud but we got used to it. The gentleman at check in was very kind. He came up to out room immediately when I couldnt figure out how to work the tv. We would definitely stay there again.
