The photos do not accurately reflect the poor condition of the property. The bathroom in particular was very old. The heating wasn’t working in the room. Do not recommend.

The property is a bit older, which you can't tell until you get into the facilities. It looks like they are remodeling and the rooms are well maintained, but the halls and lobby need to be refreshed. The carpet in the halls looked like it needed to be vacuumed or replaced. The restroom (toilet and sink) in the room were older but the room and bed seemed refreshed; however, it still doesn't look like the pictures. I needed an early check-in and the woman at the front desk was so polite and accommodating. She was able to get me a freshly cleaned room so I could get ready before my event in town. The staff were very friendly! It was very centrally located to the pier and 3rd Street Promenade.

Hidden resort fee of $23 a day for motel-like quality. Location is perfect. However, it should not be the reason to charge hidden resort fee.

Property was not described or as pictured. Very run down, and uneasy feeling. Beds are extremely hard and uncomfortable. Stale smell throughout entire hotel. Description stated restaurants, bar and cafe on site, which hotel does not have. Staff was beefy friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Changed rooms 4 times. 1st: they were remodelling the room right next to me, so building/drilling noise from 9am onwards. I asked to be moved to a quieter room. 2nd: even more noisier as faced the back alley, where homeless people drunk and partied all night. Plus, another room was also being remodelled across the hall, so they moved me to a worse room. Couldn’t sleep all night. They didn’t service room 2 for 2 consecutive days. 3rd: get a room facing the Main Street, but TV doesn’t work. 4th: finally get a room away from the remodelling and the homeless drunken alley. But keys don’t work! Hotel is a shambles.
