    This property is great for "bed and breakfast near the road"; however, there is no other amenities. They have guest's laundry, some vending machines, 2 glass outside tables and 2 fire pits.

    I think the breakfast is decent for this price. You could have a hot different breakfast every day (such as eggs, sausages, biscuits and gravy). Also, pastries, bagels, yogurt, orange juice, variety of cereal, milk, milk, and fruits (apples and oranges).

    It's very close to the highway and you can hear the traffic during the day and night. Luckily, during the night the traffic is light. It's probably better to reserve a room towards the beach.

    The location is great, close to the beach. Parking is not a problem. Area is nice, safe, clean.

    I wish they had a better hairdryer, the settings were stuck on low and it was a tiny one with a short cord.

    loved the location and the breakfast was good for a quick continental breakfast.

    Close to the aquarium and right off the freeway. Also a great included breakfast and a big king bed with my stay.

    I didn’t like that the walls were very thin and therefore we were able to hear noises between rooms and the outside. Also, the shower stall felt flimsy, the faucet temperature setting was backwards and the shower head wasn’t working properly as to adjust the stream strength. It hurt.

    The breakfast was good and the beds were very comfortable.

    The bed was so hard and uncomfortable, for the price of $280++ a comfortable bed would be nice. The floors were covered in sand, bring sleepers or slides to wear. Breakfast was mostly carbs and sugar, needs more protein options. Parking lot was filled so had to park out on the street. We will not be returning.

    We liked that it was conveniently near the Marina state beach. Staff was pleasant and accommodating.

    Breakfast has much to be desired. Sausage did not look cooked or of good quality, potatoes didn’t look cooked or seasoned. Could have used some bell pepper onion anything, eggs were overcooked and not fresh looking

    Close to beach, easy to find, good value
