Great spot for water view...Paul's Pasta next door in an institution and the area has charm if you ignore some of the run down, vacant and blighted buildings. Staff is very nice and friendly.

It's great for what it is. I needed a relatively inexpensive place to stay, and this place delivered.

Misleading reviews for very low quality hotel

I’m not sure why this hotel has an average user rating of good. The property was poorly maintained, with trash and junk strewn in the front. The room was barrren of furniture except a bed, table with no chairs, and a precarious TV balanced on a chair. The floor was dirty underfoot. The hotel would not answer their phone and had no message service. The checkin hours are inconveniently limited to a 3 hour window. It faces a loud street and the door lock did not feel sturdy enough for the look of the neighborhood. Honestly, we have nothing good to say. For over $200 a night, I expect more.

Weekend getaway

It was a good overall experience no complaints really. The top of the fridge was very dirty and the place had a very strong bleach smell as well. The walls needed a little more cleaning, but it was a decent little place to say right by the ocean for the weekend.

Sam at the front desk was amazing—super friendly and attentive, and definitely the highlight of my stay. The room itself had a great layout, and having a kitchen was a nice option (even though I didn’t use it). However, there was a strange smell in the room that never went away. I ended up buying Lysol to mask it, which helped a bit, but proper ventilation is definitely needed. Also, while the hotel advertises a water view, it’s important to know that it’s mostly blocked by a wire fence (for safety purposes--I get that) if you’re on the ground floor. You’ll only get a real view if you’re on the second floor. Overall, the service was excellent, but the room could use some improvements.

The hotel was clean, and staff was very friendly and helpful! Definitely needs updates. We had a kitchenette with stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker. NO silverware, coffee cups, glasses. 1 pan, 2 bowls, 1 plate, 1 spatula. Great if you're passing through but not long term.

No one was there to check me in. There was a phone number on door to call, but no one answered. A RESIDENT of hotel called a back up person, but after a few min I left. People walking around that looked like they were on drugs. Wonder how many rooms are for “residents”. Strongly suggest a different hotel.
