Tiny bathroom. Small sink, no vanity top. No place to even put your toothbrush. But the worst was how the toilet was placed, which was very close to the sink. You had to maneuver in sideways to sit on the toilet. Anybody with a weight problem probably couldn't do it.

The location is five-star. The service was good, and the rooms were clean but dated. Free parking is a huge bonus, and you are just steps away from the beach, which cannot be beaten for the price. This hotel also has a very nice courtyard in the center, perfect for when you want to relax and get some fresh air in a quieter environment. I would stay here again.

Great location! Beach bars and restaurants right there. Free parking. Good stock of munchies and beverages at regular prices in lobby mart. The patio is spacious and the ocean view overlooks a good place to take in the scene. We opted for the ocean view room w balcony and glad we did: you face the street but can see the ocean and pier. The non balcony rooms have just a solid wall with no view .. they are probably quieter but would be darker.

We chose "suite" oceanview. Suite is overstating, as was really 2 beds in single room with 2 person table and small balcony. Was reasonably clean and beds very comfortable. View amazing. Bathroom beyond small, very dated room. Many things not working. Staff just made excuses and said as it was weekend nothing could be fixed. Office staff really displayed a disconnected, Oh well attitude about most requests. Because we could only have air or heat, not both, brought us a portable box fan covered in dirt and rust. Felt very overpriced. Honestly, you are paying for location and view, if you pick oceanview.
