The staff was wonderful. The location is just perfect. I was surprise of the loud noise of motorcycles passing by. In all honesty, the room was not comfortable. As soon we walked into the room, it smelled liked dirty socks, the shower had an annoying drip and you can hear it all night. Lastly, the bed wasn't comfortable at all, also, we never had housekeeping service our room.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Shower not fully stocked with toiletries, there was an ac leak on our balcony, check in service ok, poor check-in process: Inn should inform guest on front desk hours and where to enter building after 10p since the main doors (both entrances) close and are not accessible with key. Most obscure back entrance for getting into building at night. Breakfast was ok. Would try other Inns on this block for similar price, proximity to ocean and better experience.

Good value a few blocks from the beach. Breakfast was ample ( served 7 to 10 am) and removed very promptly at ten. Specialty coffee machine and lots of hot and cold options. Nice sunny breakfast area with lots of tables. Staff friendly except for fellow at check in who was a bit curt. Rooms have balconies and a functioning safe and small fridge. Nicely decorated with a bit of colour. Rooms get serviced every other day but towels and coffee are available on request. Small warm pool and hot tub, open from 10-10. Would recommend for the reasonable price point too.
