A very funky property. Rooms were probably at least 50 years old. Was very clean, but had a very old kitchen that was difficult to cook in. Had the microwave on top of a very large refrigerator. You had to be at least six feet tall to use it. Very limited cookware. Shower didn’t work, but they quickly fixed it. WIFI didn’t work after first day. They said they were working on it. Location was perfect. Short walk to East Beach. Staff were very receptive and kind.

The staff was friendly and helpful. Propert was as expected, clean, not upscale, but again as expected. Room was nice, had everything we needed in our kitchen. Bed comfortable. Our only complaints, the pillows were extremely lumpy and uncomfortable. Also, the wifi did not work at all. We struggled to get internet even through our carrier. Bit of a dead zone. Otherwise, great stay, great experience.

The property itself is located in a nice area, and it's close to everything. The exterior is nice , but the interior leaves much to be desired. To start we found old underwear in our bed when we started to go to bed. It was toward the end so not sure if sheets got changed before us. Our fireplace didn't work, they have the most ridiciculous over the bed light placement that you bang your head into most any time you go to get up out of bed. There's no insalation between floors so we could hear the people upstairs all night as if they were in our room. Also the sink kept gurggling up and sounded like the toilet was overflowing for randoms times through out our stay mostly when were were sleeping at night and woke us up.

It was fine for a cheaper property. The best thing was location. It wasn't dirty, but it felt dirty because the room was in need of maintenance. It was $15/day for parking, which was overpriced IMO. The WiFi never worked. It said connected but no Internet. That was mentioned in a lot of reviews that I read so just know that you will likely not be able to use WiFi.
