This place is really sweet for how affordable it is. I stayed in a room in the corner (room 203) and it was very quiet + has a window that opens to a side yard area = felt more like a bedroom at home. Plus the free parking + bein per friendly + super sweet and accommodating staff. Would totally stay here again.

You can feel the sea breeze through your window. A fair amount of activity sounds from the boardwalk, you are in the center of it all. There was an earthquake one night and the place shook but stood strong! Staff are awesome!
So cool to look out at boardwalk and the darkness of the Pacific Ocean. 🌊🐳
