Great updated rooms with comfy beds and effective air conditioners. Small but useful parking lot. Pool area needs upgrades and extra cleanliness attention but there is a pool and jacuzzi on site. Beautiful neigborhood walk to the beach. Loved the bike rentals.

The front desk was polite and helpful. I reserved a single for my brother-in-law. The room was around $290. His AC didn't work. He slept in stuffy room and I think if you pay that much, you should have a functioning AC in August. Felt cheated.

For those of you on a budget or want a decent value, this is not the place. This is lipstick on a rat, right on a busy road …honestly resembles a made over Motel 6 , in fact might have been. Jam packed parking, rooms right in parking lot on the first floor. Gentleman, if you want to impress you partner keep looking, there are many places for the same price point that kicks this place’s ass…honesty even Motel 6…well okay… sames,
