The shower curtain was too short and water spilled on the floor, slippery and dangerous. Also, seems like there was a bad scent coming from the drain.

Good value. Clean and quiet.

The room was very clean. Everyone at the front desk was super helpful and very friendly. English and Spanish were both very well spoken. The room was quiet. I think this is probably one of the quieter hotels in the historic district. The water pressure in the shower was low, but maybe that’s how it is in this city. I don’t know the city regulations regarding water conservation. The bed was harder than I would have liked, but I got used to it. Probably if I had asked for it, they could have put a topper or foam on the bed, but I didn’t ask. I would be happy to stay here again.

Nice rustic hotel

The hotel is old and rustic but we'll kept. The room we were in was large and the bathroom was a good size as well. Private parking and security was good. The area is touristy with lots of good restaurants. Just a few blocks from the ocean. Check is is at 3 pm and check out is 2 noon not 11 am.
