Beware the nail.

We stayed there for only two nights and as other comments have stated yes the floors were not cleaned regularly. However worst for me was in my 326. A nail head was sticking out of the floor. You can see in the photo it's just sticking out. It was located just as the entryway Hall transitioned into the bedroom area. You can kind of see in the photo. The bed was a little on the firm side but it was still soft enough for me to sleep as a side sleeper. The place was a little noisy at certain times. The shower nozzle coming out of the ceiling was a little weird. I had never seen that in a place before. It's not a deal-breaker but someone might like to know. It was nice close to the beach. There is no elevator and rooms are only on the second and third floor. So be prepared to climb stairs if you get the third floor. A lot of stairs

Inconvenient access to beach. Had to drive to beach because the residential area was blocking the access. Nothing can really be done about it. We just thought being so close to the beach it would be in walking distance.

It was clean. Fine for overnight. Simple. Blow dryer, fridge and very small freezer and small microwave. But there is no elevator!!! You have to climb up all the stairs with your luggage. No one to help you. Not for disabled.

This was my second stay. The location is terrific and pedestrian friendly - short walks to beach, restaurants, fun bars, the historic water tower. A friendly and helpful staff. Free covered parking. Not disabled-friendly: no elevators and all rooms are on second and third floors with steep stairwells. Basic and not fancy - no pool, breakfast or other amenities. Right on PCH, so rooms on that side exposed to traffic noise. But a good value for the location and price. I am likely to return.
