Worth a try. Good location and price.

We have the two story unit with the king downstairs and queen downstairs. There was no AC so I guess you're suppose to open the window however there were holes in the screen and we didn't feel 100% safe leaving the window open since it open to the public sidewalk. We tried to use the jacuzzi but it was very crowded and there was no room for us. Everything else was great.

This place deserves an 8.4. I can’t believe the people who pick at the little things. It’s not a Hyatt regency, it’s more like a really cool Italian villa. It’s really nice and cool place to stay. So what if there’s no hair dryer? It has a fridge AND a micro in the room. It’s old style but so cool and well kept, though imperfect. And it’s close to the pier, the beach, and in a great area. Really nice neighborhood. Cheaper than any other place nearby, it’s worth the price!

Another attempt here to help you save your money. Just look at the number of 1-start reviews. Stay in this dump at your own risk: PROS: * Location CONS: * No parking. Only 10 sites for 60 rooms. You'll have to fight for parking. * Desk is unattended. They are only there at 3pm to receive people. * I saw them cleaning the pool and spa with a bottle of Clorox and add bubbles. * Bathrooms are dirty * You cannot have extra towels * Fridge leaks * They charge "bed fees", "admin fees", "property tax fees", and everything they can add. * The breakfast food had mold. * All the place is full of junk from backyard sales * Noisy.

La limpieza de la habitacion entregada fue muy basica. Habia cabellos en las sábanas y servilletas debajo de la cama. El precio y la ubicación son buenos. El desayuno son cereales y una vieja wafflera para self service. No hay personal en recepción todo el tiempo. No tuvimos espacio de estacionamiento garantizado. Necesitan poner cortinas black out.

While you can’t beat the area this property is in, it’s less than 1/4 of a mile from wharf, the condition of this property us below no frills The room was horrendously humid, only 2 of the 6 windows had screens, so could not open them, even the screens affixed were not fully in the sill There are no ceiling fans or ac units, I get this is a historic building but at very least put a tower fan Lastly, service is lacking. 1 desk agent was available, and she was so frazzle running around, dealing with 3 other customers while the manager was flipping rooms? No idea. This was the case even 3 hours after standard check in. Definitely consider your tolerance for subpar service

Property is within walking distance to the beach. We took a stroll at 830pm and the whole area feels very safe. A lot of great places to eat within just a few minutes walking. Property has great views of the ocean and pier. The rooms and Property feel like a "classy vintage". We would stay at this Property again. It's a great place.
