The location of this hotel is what makes it all worth it! Easy 3 min walk to the beach and close walks to bars and restaurants. However, the walls are PAPER thin and you can hear absolutely everything. We stayed on the first floor and felt like we were staying underneath professional tap dancers from the second floor. So loud. Also, if you stay on the first floor there is no privacy so don’t even think about opening up your windows. I would stay here again but would choose second floor or even the ones with the cute patios.

The only issues with this place is its location as it is right on the street and stays kinda noisy all night. It’s not terribly loud but you can hear it. Other than that it’s a pretty good place for the money.
