I chose this hotel because of its location near the beach, the included amenities like breakfast and parking, and its lower price compared to others in the area. The lobby looks nice and clean, and it’s clear the hotel is in the middle of a renovation.
Unfortunately, the rooms haven’t been updated yet, and it shows. Ours had a musty, damp smell that didn’t go away, even with the door open — though the street noise made that trade-off unpleasant. The carpet felt damp and dirty, so I avoided going barefoot.
The king bed was comfortable, but the pillows were overly thick. The sofa had a noticeable stain on the cushion, so I had to request extra towels just to sit on it. Only two thin towels were provided initially. The sofa bed sheets had yellow stains, and when I asked for fresh ones, I was given a rollaway mattress instead — which also had uncomfortable springs and didn’t sleep well.
The bathroom was disappointing: peeling wallpaper, dirty-looking corners, and overall poor upkeep made it feel unclean.
Breakfast was a nice option to have, and I appreciated the inclusion of protein items like egg bites and sausage, though they weren’t very good (powdery eggs and overcooked meat). There were also waffles, toast, bagels, and yogurt — enough to grab something quick before heading out.
Parking was available, which I appreciated, and the location is convenient — close to Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, and a 15-minute walk to the beach. Just note that the hotel is right on a busy street
