Great little place. Lots of parking. Amazing bfast. If you are sensitive to smells may not be your place. Room was musty almost like a water problem. Ran the AC and bathroom fan for an hour and mostly cleared out smell. Delt with this everyday.

Very unique property and loved the retro vibes. Bathrooms are dates. Upon my first night I killed a roach in the bathroom vanity area. I called the front desk to make them aware and they asked if I had a photo or video. I cleaned up the debris and flushed it. Not sure why they would think I would lie about a roach in the room. I noticed another one in the bed the next morning and did take a pic and video. They did not hesitate to change my room. However, It was sad that it had to be proven to them. After this I had no other issues.

The fun atmosphere was remarkable, especially for the price. We had fun in the arcade, at the pool and playing a large jenga game by the fire outside. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The Trolley blue line was only about a three minute walk, which was so convenient. I can’t wait to go back!

Really enjoyed the design and visuals of the hotel. Liked that there was a common area to hang out and the pool seemed pretty cool. It would have been nice to have a mini fridge to hold onto food. Really enjoyed the cruisers that we rode to the beach. Would come back again.
