I had an amazing stay at this hotel! From the moment I checked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, professional, and attentive. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained, with super comfortable bedding that made it easy to relax. The only con was that it was hard to find parking. The hotel does not provide parking.

Did not receive registration link for self check in until I called. Room was not clean upon check in (bed not made, garbage in room, used towels on the floor) however, after calling a second time I was quickly upgraded to a bigger room at no charge. Customer service was friendly and efficient. Would stay again.

The room was tiny. No toilet or shower. Had to use a communal bathroom. There is not a person at thw front desk after 4pm. Thw codes to the room doors and the front door stopped working multiple times. You cant use the fireplace outside without hotel staff assistance and there isn't anyone there after 4pm. The walls are super thin as well. Great location, decent pricing and cute place but you're basically on your own.

The room, bathroom, and common areas were clean and very nice. Staff was friendly throughout our stay. We were unaware about the communal bathroom situation, which was a disappointment. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Parking was a Huge deal i had to park on a side street and it was a 10 min walk to the hotel. Pay parking in the area is $12.50 an Hr. NO long term parking The check in may be great for the younger people who do everything on their phone, but for me it was a pain in the butt after a day of flying. NOW that being said once i got in I loved the room. the staff was great had a wonderful undersatnding attitude and was understanding of the above mentioned. She had great suggestion for "things to do / see" in the arae. The ocean front is fun Maritime Museum / Midway / Food everything was Great. I would stay again !!

there were no outlets in the bathroom, no wash cloths, I saw 2 mice on the patio, the recommended parking does not allow over night parking, my ceiling fan/light did not work, and my sheets and towels had blond hair all over them (I'm brunette) I won't be staying here again or recommending it to anyone.
