I don't know. When we arrived at 3pm for check-in, the parking lot was completely empty? Our one-night stay was okay, nothing great or terrible. I guess we were comfortable enough and the room rate was reasonable.

The photos on Expedia are outdated. This place had new paint on the outside of building, updated and the rooms and carpet looked like they remodeled it. So it didn’t look as outdated as the photos! Looked better! Parking lot is huge, the area is quiet. Walkable to the beach and loved all the locals and neighborhoods we walked through to get there. Community is safe. The staff was kind!

The property is set back from the busy street, but close enough for us to walk over & enjoy a pizza! We only heard ther guests once - during our 2 night stay. Very pleasant stay - only thing that would have made it better, is if the staff knew the area a bit better - the person I spoke to only knew about restaurants in loop, but there are many other places close by!

Quiet Stay

Had a quiet stay at this hotel. The person checking us in was awesome, with helpful hints on our stay. Rooms were clean, if not a bit dated. Still, it was a comfortable stay.

room was spacious, bed was large and comfortable with quality sheets. the room was very quiet, practically no outside noise for my 5 days stay. hotel looked fairly new, or recently updated. wifi was mostly working, with one outage for a few hours. staff are friendly and helpful. included breakfast is pretty basic, i usually skipped it and went to the peets across the road. good stay, i'd recommend.

Could use a make over.

Upon arrival the parking lot was completely empty and appeared very outdated/weathered. We were wondering if we were arriving at an abandoned location. Upon check-in the clerk was just business, no warmth at all. The reservation was for two people but as I was leaving the lobby I noticed she'd only given me one key. I returned to the desk and asked for a second. She immediately reached down and handed me a second (was it already programmed for our room?). Upon arrival at the room, only the first key I'd received worked. Back to the desk. The room had an odor. The sliding door (ground floor with patio) was unlocked, which we didn't notice until the next day. The room was just mediocre, outdated, the lighting was poor. The TV was decent with streaming options but while watching movies on Netflicks it would have to stop to buffer about every 10-12 minutes sometimes much shorter. The WiFi was weak so I figure they have a subpar network causing both issues. The microwave was missing its front feet so was at an angle about 1" higher in the rear. The linens and towels were clean. The shower had instant hot water with good pressure. On that topic whenever another room used the toilet or shower the sound of water resonated. This hotel is in a good location and has a nice layout, but is in need of a good refresh.

Very comfortable, would stay again.

The room was vey clean and the bed was also very comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful when asked. The only reason I didn't give the hotel room 5 starts was for two reasons and the cleaning staff may have already put in work orders. I was not able to slide the front mirrored closet door it was stuck, the back one worked fine so still a functioning closet. The toilet paper holder is the type that holds two rolls one on each side. The issue was that it was not secured properly to the wall so when in use the roll would fall off and hit the floor. I would still stay at this hotel again.
