Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a quiet atmosphere aside from the calming sound of waves. However, the small size and awkward portable closet were minor inconveniences that could have been improved. The service was top-notch with super friendly front desk personnel, although some modern amenities like laundry could enhance the overall experience. The location was excellent, offering a wonderful view and easy access to nearby attractions, but the noise from some inconsiderate guests after 10pm was a downside. The dining options were limited, but the hotel's proximity to the beach made up for it in part.
The room at this hotel was nice with a great view of the ocean, but it was overpriced for what you get. The white noise machine helped with outside sounds, and the sliding glass doors added to the experience. However, the issue with the door not closing properly was frustrating.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though in a charming 100-year-old building, felt a bit dark with only one window facing a walkway; however, it was well-equipped with modern furniture and standard amenities. The staff provided excellent service, allowing us to leave our car parked post-checkout for a few extra hours. The location was convenient, just across from the beach, but the area had some issues with homelessness and noise late at night. Dining options were a step up, especially for breakfast, and the facilities met our expectations.
