It was definitely very clean! You need to do residential parking unfortunately. Feels pretty safe in general since it’s in a very busy street with shops, restaurants and bars. Only complaint is the receptionist that checked us in was a bit rude. I called the day before our stay to see if we can do an early check in and they happily said yes, anytime after 8am. We arrive early and he was very rude saying check in is at 3pm. We explained the situation and how we called in advance. He then said: idk who you talked to but check in is at 3pm. Very dismissive. Thankfully he then checked to see if there was a room available which our room was ready (as we called in advance). He then said sorry for the confusion. But he definitely left us with a bitter taste. The rest of the staff was super nice and tried to help us with our luggage.

When I was looking at places to stay this was a lil odd to me but couldn't beat the price. I was weary of sleeping in a room with 7 strangers but I never heard a peep from anyone the 3 days I was there. I was a lil weirded out when booking about shared bathrooms/showers but there is a private one (only used the downstairs one) upstairs in the shared was pretty nice though. I got ready in there and showered and thankfully theres a "free to use" box that came in handy. Everything was clean except if you barefoot around sand is everywhere which I didn't mind. The location is perfect, one way to the beach and the strip has shops, eateries, bars and was suprised even a Target! I absolutely would stay here again, never had a concern for my safety and staff was friendly!
