We are locals who wanted a staycation that wouldn't bust our budget. This place is in a great location, only a block from the beach, and a lot cheaper than the beach facing hotels. Yes, the room was tiny, with few amenities (but had a mini fridge and coffee maker) but super clean and quiet with ample parking. Just note that it is right next to another hotel and go to the correct check in office! It doesn't look like much from the street but we consider it a hidden gem we will recommend to our budget conscious friends.
Really wonderful property form the price. My room needed some repairs and updating, but the pool was heated and the person at the front desk was friendly. The property itself is very well kept and a stone's throw from the beach. I would definitely stay here again.
Our hotel was close to the train line and our room was close to the ice fountain
It was noisy all the time and I didn’t sleep
The room was humid and the amenities very low
I don’t recommend this hotel
Hopefully the young lady at the welcome desk for our checking was very kind
It’s fine for a quick over night stay, but not for a nice family vacation. Room is small. But it’s a motel like facility which is expected. Can hear lots of noises outside including the train. Otherwise staff is very nice.
The staff Denise, Esmeralda and Jamie are wonderful. Very courteous, kind and helpful. The room was clean and my stay was amazing. Enjoyed walks on the beach, walk to the warf is about 20-25 mins., so many wonderful restaurant choices.
It is a great property at an excellent location! Our room is spacious and clean. We enjoyed walking to the beach and taco's nearby. We appreciated very much that there is a Tesla charging plug available in the parking lot. The only reason that prevents us from giving a 5 stars rating is our room wifi is very bad! It is so hard to get on and so easy to be dropped! It is quite an experience to stay in your room without wifi service as our T-mobile phone happens to have little signal as well. Our room number was 14.
We loved it - easy parking, check-in and check-out. Appreciated the communication and flexibility with our group. Would stay again.

No WiFi and a kitchen w/zero utensils or items
I got a suite and there was NO internet and NO phone signal. When I complained they said their internet simply didn't reach that far and suggested I used the WiFi of the Motel 6 next door (which wasn't great either). My suite had a kitchen with ZERO utensils, plates, pans, etc. What's the point? Unbelievable. It wasn't cheap either.
