It was a decent place, old and run down. Morning staff were agressive with getting a good review.
3 day stay for a birthday getaway. Location was close to train station, as well as the pier and harbor. Short walks to both. Continental breakfast was great and staff was very nice!
The only place to grab a bite is Chad’s which is about 15 mins walk. And it’s an ok establishment. The other place is the Toma restaurant which is always packed and you need a reservation.
Breakfast is not what it use to be here. Quality in breakfast has gone down a bit. The cookies during the day are a nice touch and the entire staff is pleasant. The beds are a little hard and uncomfortable and the price does not necessarily reflect the expectations that are not completely met.
Great room and conveniently located just a block from the beach. Good breakfast, cute decor. My only complaint was they didn't let 2 cars park and street parking is all permit, so that was a huge issue. It didn't say that when booking the room.
Great location, great value, clean room - friendly helpful staff

The facility and personnel were great and very helpful!
The only downside were some guests who , apparently, did not understand the concept of not considering other guests in the building after hours in the lobby by iutilizing “ inside voices “ later in the evening.
