Room was way too small and shower too tight. Bed was too short and the bed was too bumpy. Didn’t get much sleep. Area was nice. No ocean view. Just an alley way. Will not recommend if wanting to stay more than one night.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was ok but the building needs better maintenance. The shower head was clogged the first day and then dripping the next. Freezer iced over. The railing looks like it’s rotting on the balcony and roof overhang. Common areas / patio on 2nd floor dirty and trash laying around. Also didn’t know this prior but there is no elevator so beware if you’re older and have a top floor you have to carry your suitcase up all those flights of stairs. Overpriced for the quality.

Our room was nasty stains on the sheets and carpet. Walls were thin could hear other people in neighboring rooms talking at a normal volume, heater blew muggy humid air, and the tv had no channels just static couldn’t even connect your phone to watch YouTube or anything, we didn’t even stay we ended up going to hotel Atwater which was a million times better
