Check in was easy. Room was much cleaner than most hotels I've stayed in the last year. Bed was confortable. Towels were plush. Hot water was instant and great. Location was good. Only complaint was the room was hot and it didnt seem like the heater really shuts off at all. Had to open both windows to get it to a sleepable temperature. But otherwise, a pretty great hotel for the price.

Great area to take a bike ride....along the coast. the hotel has deteriorated in the last few years. the toilet leaked and didn't stop running until you 'wiggled' the handle. the breakfast was pretty minimal...bars and coffee. they need to put some money into upgrading the facilities. good location and pretty quiet after 9 pm.

Our room was up a flight of stairs with my 80 year old mother, 11 year old granddaughter, & I had just had knee surgery 9 months earlier. The room was dated, TV didn’t turn on because someone had unplugged it, the fan in our bathroom was super noisy, our neighbor had something that was vibrating the walls. Our room was super hot & they had a free standing fan by the window. Then in the late afternoon 7 huge dump trucks come & back up numerous times with the “beep” “beep” “beep” every single time, which seemed to last for over 40 minutes! And we were at the far end room, so the internet only worked intermittently, my granddaughter was trying to do her homework. We checked out 2 days early!! Does NOT look anything like the pictures!!
