This place is rather small and the room was tiny. You could barely walk around the bed and the TV was super small. For the price, I would have expected more. The area is nice and you can walk to downtown and the beach easily.

Breakfast is not “free,” but incorporated in a $20 “resort fee”. Hotel is a bit worn but has character.

It’s so difficult to get any sleep at this hotel, the ceilings are not sound proofed so you can hear every footstep and conversation. In addition there is dance hall across the street that blasts music most of the day. We could not sleep half the night, so bring some earbuds if you’re staying on the first level. The carpets were awful and there was no way to control the temperature in the room. It was too costly for so many things to be wrong with it. The staff was friendly and helpful, and that was the saving grace.

The Centrella Hotel is quaint, clean, and friendly. However, it is missing several amenities that most people are accustomed to. The 9.0 rating on Expedia should come with an asterisk. *There is no air conditioning, refrigerator, microwave, window screens, nor coffee in the room. The flat panel tv is quite anmall (32”?) and if you want fresh air, you have to open the window and insert a portable screen that is stored in the armoir. With regard to the parking, unless you’re fortunate enough to secure one of the property’s 4 or 5 parking spots, you will need to rely on street parking.

While there are only five parking slots, there’s plenty of street parking. At least when we were there! The rooms are quiet and comfortable if small. There’s no hot breakfast but the yoghurt parfait is excellent and the pastries fresh. We would go back.
