Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
There were a lot of bad smells coming from the ac unit. Rooms are tiny. No closet or dresser. No extra linens. Next to freeway so extremely noisy. Water didn't drain in sink well. I guess some people are satisfied with these standards however, for your health and safety, I would stay away from this hotel.

The room was very clean and smelled really good. Perfect size for 2 people and the bathroom is very updated and nice. The only things I didn’t care for was the bed- it was pretty hard but luckily we were only staying for 1 night. The bathroom sink also drained very slowly. Otherwise great stay!

Charming little hotel

Charming visit. Room was clean and renovated. Front desk staff was very friendly. Instead of water bottles they have a bottle refill station. Loved the fire pit and that I could text the staff to come turn it on for us. Only downside was the stairs to the beach was closed because of erosion.

Perfect for us!

Everything was perfect for us! The cottage was clean and comfortable. The view was spectacular! It was nice to have grass in the front and back yards for our dogs. The Wi-Fi was pretty slow, and the bathroom is tiny, but the price is right! We will be back!

Room was clean, a little inconvenient without a dresser or closet but it served its purpose. I misread the property details and thought that there was an area for all the guest to hang out and play corn hole and pool but those areas were specifically designated for only guest that book that specific room. But overall, loved our time spent here

This place is very cute and conveniently located. They have thick windows to block the noise from the freeway. However, get a room upstairs if you can, because once your neighbor is up, you are up! You can hear it all. The bathroom could definitely be cleaner, mold in the shower. But, everything is nice. Good deal for the price on a Sunday night!
