walking distance to grocery store.
furniture was old and outdated. needs remodeling
The property is old with no maintenance, scratches on furnitures, bed frames and old water system, I think my room was overpriced, I paid $350 for 1 night

This is a cute, historic building with a nice rooftop deck (fantastic view). There are few amenities given the price, but overall a very reasonable place to stay.
Great hotel my only problem was that there is no functioning ice machine. All staff was nice and it’s nice to be away from the madness on the beach but still super close. Right next to Vons which was helpful
Exactly as advertised! Checkin was a short walk from the pier. You could get a taxi but we walked 10 minutes to see the shops and sights.
There is construction of a new home or building next to the hotel during the day. Currently they are removing soil and preparing the foundation. It will be interesting to see if they block the view of the hotel that is comparable to other hotels that are twice the price.

I liked the old school charm of the place. The air conditioning worked sporadically.

Coffee is served in the foyer every morning. No coffee convinces in room. Morning coffee was not ready at 7:30 am. I had to wait. Creamer pump was empty and grimmy. Ice machine was out of order.
Bedroom floors were dirty.
The location is nice if you dont mind the incline walking back to the hotel from main beach area.
We thought this hotel was overpriced for the tiny accommodations.
Definately an old apartment vibe.
The property was walkable from the main street. Bed was comfortable; no issues on the internet. The valve to turn on the shower in bathroom was difficult to turn around and had hard time adjusting the temperature of the water. The staff at night was very helpful to give us ice bucket and glasses to use in our room. The morning staff was supposed to give us information on how to get the $2 dollar transportation but was not able to provide us the information.
Loved the location and rooms were simple but clean. Overall, the staff was great with the exception of the woman who worked the morning shifts at front desk., She was flat out rude on several occasions The other staff working the front desk were lovely.
I got locked out of my room becuase my card didn’t work and I got locked out of the hotel at 2 in the morning and no staff were awake or near the doors and I couldn’t get hold of anyone
