We have stayed here several times and always enjoy our stay. The property is located within walking distance to the beach, and main street where you can find shops and restaurants. The staff is wonderful and the breakfast they provide is enough to start your morning.

Great location. Property has weathered quite a bit. Everything worked but nothing impressed. The hotel offered waffles for breakfast but no other hot food. Was bare bones.

A Blast from the Past... and Not in a Good Way. It was a disappointing step back in time, and unfortunately, not in a charming, nostalgic sense. From the moment I walked into the lobby, it was clear that updates haven't been a priority here in decades. The lobby itself felt dim and unwelcoming that hinted at years of neglect. The furniture, while attempting to look "classic," simply looked worn out and dusty. Check-in was handled by a polite and nice front desk clerk. Upon entering my room, the sense of dated disarray only deepened. The decor was a jarring mix of styles that had peaked in the 80s. The bathroom was particularly grim. The grout in the shower was discolored and crumbling in places, and a faint mildew smell lingered. The bed mattress was the most uncomfortable hotel mattresses I've ever encountered. It was a foam monstrosity that actively worked against a good night's sleep. While the location was convenient, it's hard to overlook the pervasive feeling that this hotel has been left to slowly decay. For anyone seeking comfort, cleanliness, or modern amenities, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere. This hotel desperately needs a major renovation and a deep clean to bring it into the current century.

This hotel is in an excellent location. The beds were extremely comfortable, and I slept well. Our room was surprisingly large. That being said, the bathroom was moldy and the bed sheets had cigarette burns. The soap, shampoo, and lotion provided were awful, so I’d bring your own. Breakfast was the most basic fare of cereal, toast, fruit, yogurt, and a waffle maker. We discovered eggs, potatoes, and sausage on our last day but could have sworn it wasn’t there the first two mornings of our stay. The jacuzzi was nice but the timer didn’t work for the bubbles. The staff was helpful enough but didn’t exude hospitality. I also would not recommend a room on the ground floor facing the park.

Great location, lovely setting neat the mission. Short walk to downtown and many dining options. Unfortunately, a concert at the fairgrounds several blocks away was very loud. Quieter in the room but could still hear the bass. Parking was also a challenge.
