The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.
Such a cute clean and relaxed place. And the staff was great and worked with us.

Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.
The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.
It was a very inexpensive hotel. I thought it would be a dive, but it wasn’t and it appears to me that the management really cares about their property.
The facilities are always clean and the lines and towels always smell clean and fresh.

Hotel is in a nice neighborhood. There were a lot of guests at the hotel and it was very quiet, so that was great. Very comfortable mattress and pillows. But the faucet for the shower was damn near impossible to figure out. Took forever for the water to heat up, and then it was lukewarm at best. No drain plug for the tub. After a day of walking my feet were killing me and all I wanted to do was sit on the edge of the tub and soak by feet, but couldn't plug the drain and put hot water in the tub. Also the tv had very poor selection of channels. Mostly sports. I really wanted to give this little hotel a great rating because I love that idea that they're not owned by a multi-national conglomerate. I would give this place 5 stars if they had hot water and better tv channels. Nice little place for a good price.
No official host at the front desk, have to dial 0 to get someone. Property is deteriorating the ceiling needs to be repaired in the room we stayed in.
