    The parking, bathroom needed updating 🙄! I requested a iron but there wasn't, so I had to go buy one!

    The location! The staff was very accommodating when I told them I couldn't go up a lot of stairs because of my bad knees!that

    The room was comfortable but could have used a wipe down after it was cleaned to remove residue.

    Hotel was easy to find.

    Too much to mention. Heads up, they advertise a pool, which they have but no water in it. Bring your own wash clothes, there seems to be a shortage.

    Location to the beach was great, only 2 blocks. If all you want is a bed, and no amenities, it’s perfect.

    The 2 rooms we had were dirty and smelled. It took all day tell the evening to get the comforters for the beds. It was obvious they do not vacuum or clean after every guest. A little bit of a let down for the kids that the pool is currently drained.

    Owner was very nice and sincere. And we loved the location.

    Walls were chipped. many of the outlets did not work. They had a mini fridge in the room did not reach temp it was very hot inside the fridge and the outlet did not work for it to keep it on. Mini fridge was basically there for decoration. There was no remote for the TV had to get up and find the buttons on the side of the television if I wanted to change the channel.

    It had all your basic needs. Beds were comfy. I liked how it smelled clean. I feel like they tried to do the best with what they had. A lot of Motels can be worse. Not bad for what I paid for. Had basic necessities so that’s ok with me. Staff was very friendly and helpful, seems like they actually try so I would give them another chance. Hopefully next time is better than this one.

    There was only 1 blanket on the bed in the extra room, the other 2 beds only had sheets so it was kinda cold, thankfully we brought one and there is only 1 trash can in the whole room. Also, there was no coffee.

    We loved that the room had 3 beds, 1 separate for the snorer 😉, the shower pressure and temp were great, they had soap and shampoo and lots of towels. There is a fridge and microwave, always a plus. The hotel itself is just a few minutes' walk to the beach and all of downtown. Also, when you walk in to check in it smells like dinner is ready.

    Construction when I was not informed . It started so early and I literally got no sleep .

    I’ve stayed here many times & enjoy ! The only thing that was bad is they are working on it & I was woken up by the banging . Feel as if that’s something that I should have been made aware of .
