This property is undergoing renovations. Our room was brand new. We stayed here for a concert and it's only a short Uber ride from the venue and downtown and a ton of great restaurants. Target is right across the street and Farm Boys is great for breakfast.

We wanted to book somewhere that offered breakfast as we had a lot going on and that would’ve been one less concern. We were disappointed to find out at check in that breakfast service was suspended due to construction. It would have been good to know ahead of time. Lani at the check in counter was great though, and she recommended we go to Jeannine’s which was excellent! Accommodations were nice and very clean. I would’ve said great except taking a shower at night was a pain due to the automatic light that kept going off at short intervals while we showered.. Couldn’t find a way to override the sensor, so we had to stick our wet arm out to turn the light back on each time i, and then deal with wiping the floor dry after. Ugh! The staff was really great and the place was nice and conveniently located so we enjoyed our stay despite the hiccups.

This is an older property so the walls are really thin. The first room we got was next to a room where someone had a chronic cough. Although they were booked solid, the front desk manager changed our room and moved our bags while we were out for dinner which was really considerate. We had a good nights sleep and the bed was actually pretty comfy. If you’re looking for clean accommodations for a moderate price, I would recommend this venue.

The room was clean and smoke-free upon arrival which was nice. There were a couple of issues I ran into. The front-desk clerk gave me the wrong room number at the outset. I had to go back and get the correct number. The lights had an auto-sense switch which was programmed to go on and off in an inconvenient manner. The bathtub would flood during my shower and take hours to drain. The room was not made up during the day so getting fresh towels and linen was an additional hassle. Otherwise it was relatively quiet and was a place to stay on my business trip.

Room was clean but a bit rikkety. Breakfast not being offered even though it was included with the booking. They offered a coupon from the nearby Dennys but the receptionist didn’t know how much the discount was. Good location for our purposes but not very close to the beach. Overall good value for money compared to other hotel prices in the area.

I believe the website states “breakfast included” it was not. The rooms were noisy and smelled. It’s a lot of money for more of a motel 6 feel. I would not stay here again
