We checked in early, and the staff expediated our room being cleaned and ready for us as a priority. We appreciated that accommodation.

Hector United States of America

The check in was quick and easy. The room was ready, a little early! The room was neat and clean and the hotel was very quiet. No screaming or loud neighbors.

Teresa United States of America

Location to Sansum Clinic. Conveniently located to beach.

Craig United States of America

everything, big room, grate location. close to sea close to city atractions, and very quit place.

Natan Israel

I like that we got plenty of nice towels, ceramic coffee mugs and water glasses. It is walking distance to a lot of places.

Wendy United States of America

The location can’t be beat. You are within walking distance of convenience stores and all of the restaurants near the pier. The room was a perfect size, we booked the king bed which was very comfortable. My boyfriend and I are super picky when it comes to pillows so we brought our own from home and we’re happy we did. Unfortunately the hotel pillows were super flat. The room was very clean and I appreciated having a refrigerator and coffee maker in the room. Other reviews have mentioned parking is tight which is true, but we drive a smaller vehicle so it wasn’t bad for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Lyndsay United States of America

I expected to actually be on the beach given the name of the hotel. The hotel was within a few hundred yards and well located otherwise, however. Nice older hotel, would stay again.

Joseph United States of America

Check in was a breeze. Parking lot is really cramped but not impossible to maneuver. Room was clean. Blanket had a stain on it. No bag to put ice in, in the ice bucket. Really just used the room to sleep while we explored the beach/downtown. Served its purpose perfectly!

Bryce United States of America

Great room for our family of 5 with a perfect little kitchen. Walkable to lots of places.

Helen United States of America

The location of the hotel was great. The room was small but clean and nicely appointed. Enjoyed the patio outside the room.
