8/10 Very good

Always a wonderful stay here! It’s our go to day place for an overnight stay.
Jasmine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always a nice time at this hotel. It is basic but sufficient for low key, minimalist over night stay, meaning not luxurious. The price can’t be beat for a short stay.
Jasmine, 1-night trip

Great place to stay
JUAN DAVID, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very Basic

Very basic and not that comfortable. The bed was hard, the floor was dirty, the bed was not very warm. Parking is very limited as well. Cannot recommend.

Jared, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was very friendly, front desk and housekeeper were very helpful. Awesome location- walking distance to everything… 0.8 mile walk /15 min to the beach… Reasonable price. Just would like a continental breakfast or happy hour like years ago… overall, excellent place to stay quaint and comfortable!

Just OK

A bit run down, but ok for the cost. Not very well insulated, so can be noisy.

For the location, it’s extremely affordable and it’s undergoing renovations right now that are not disrupting. The owners are kind.
