Liked the value, location was good, Tiki Bar on-site was convenient and handy. Meghan (Megladon!) was excellent, cheerful & informative at the front desk... good ambassador for the property. Microwaves for the rooms would've been useful & appreciated.

It’s a safe neighborhood. Walking distance to a lot of places. The attached Tiki Hut was fun and the staff were amazing. The housekeepers did not change our bedding for 4 days and didn’t mop our tile floors and we had gone to the beach a few times so there was sand. The ice machine and one of the 2 washers was broken. The General Manager and Meaghan were really helpful.

The facility was clean and the staff was nice. The staff is only there for a limited time each day. The one side of the hotel has a lot of noise from the road and the other has a lot of noise from bands. If you like to party, this is your place. If you are looking for peace and quiet, I’d look elsewhere.

Quaint and original vintage 1960s motel. Large, clean rooms. Easy parking. No elevator. Meghan was great and arranged late check in. The tiki bar is a lot of fun and we enjoyed the live band and had good food. The music is loud and right downstairs so be warned if you’re early birds but it was all closed up before 11pm.

Nice for the money, but temper your expectations.

Nice accomodations for the money. Really small TV with only Roku. We had to log into our home account to watch any TV unless you wanted to watch reruns of Perry Mason. We don't watch much TV but this was abit anoying.
