Room was clean. Unfortunately the bed was too high for me to comfortably get into so I spent the evening sitting on the less than comfortable dining chair. My fault for being 5.0 ft and 69 years old so very concerned about falling

Brittany

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Incredibly friendly staff, every interaction we had was pleasant. The hotel itself is decorated pleasantly, it’s homey. However, the rooms are outdated. The price tag is for the location not the quality of the rooms; one expects something a little fancier for $200+ a night. The kitchenette (microwave, coffee maker, and fridge, no cooktop), TV, and bedding are comparable to a motel a third of the price. Plus side is, the room was very clean. And a great view of the pier. Breakfast was decent.
