Basic Hotel

Basic hotel that offers a minimal low quality breakfast. Rooms are reasonably sized but overall the hotel is overpriced for what it offers. Even the coffee is bland and watery.

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The photos on Expedia are outdated.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 So it didn’t look as outdated as the photos!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.
