The location of this hotel is great, right on the beach. Do keep in mind there are a few bars on this street so we had a lot of outside noise. The hotel itself is quite run down and our room was outdated- the toilet couldn’t flush properly I had to open the cover and manually pull the lever up to flush each time. The room was also quite dirty- dirt in the shower and the bathroom. ALSO there was a MOUSE in our room!!!!! They did handle it well and moved us immediately but once you see a mouse you never feel safe again!!!!! I wasn’t offered a comped room or anything. The staff is friendly but the hotel itself needs updating urgently. We will not be coming back to this hotel after everything.

Room was pretty small but cozy, right on the strip so very busy on warm hot summer day, very close to a beach. Recommend to try get the 4th floor, do not recommend the first floor as you can hear pple outside and if close to the elevator can hear that too… a lot of upgrades- rooms are very nice
