Great facility with easy access to underground parking - ideal for downtown location with no street parking/parking lot. Sanitary seal on bathroom toilet a big plus. Staff for happy hour at next door restaurant (under separate management) were really welcoming and helpful, great food also! Hotel was further from the beach than we thought based on info provided on Expedia site.

For the price this hotel is a bargain. I don't know why there were so many bad reviews, we made sure we had a room away from the street, but that's common sense. I suppose if you get partiers in the room next door it could get noisy but what hotel isn't? The breakfast was pretty basic but then if you stayed at a high 3nd hotel that was two or three times the price, guess what? You would get no breakfast. Be happy with what you get, all of the other hotels in the areas where mostly built 70 80 years ago and have been renud but are old and creaky.
