This room was very clean. Took less than 2 minutes to check in. No fuss. Needed a room for overnight stay for the classic car show. This place did not disappoint. Had everything you need. Great coffee shop next door.

Good stay over night, it’s small and parking is small too but it was clean. Perfect for one! Coffee shop right next door and restaurants to walk to as well as just a few blocks to view the Ocean.

The property owners were very nice and kind to our family. There was a lot of us that stayed there due to us having a wedding to attend. Locked myself out of my room a couple of times and they gave me a new key card without any problems. very nice clean place to stay. I would definitely stay there again.

The room was not clean it was full of with and bugs. The blinds did not close all the way so you could see inside. The pillows had yellow stains. Very sad place. We ended up leaving in the middle of the night to drive back home because it was so bad.

We love staying here because of the location to restaurants and walking. The bed was comfortable but a better coffeemaker would be nice. Also, the pet fee is $35 compared to $20 at most places.
