Th$e room was clean but spartan. The outside patio was very cute. The pillows were small. The soap and lotion dispensers felt restroom-y, not nice hotel. The free breakfast and coffee was very nice. If I were paying less than $250 a night, I would be giving it a higher rating. But for that room rate you could provide a couple of real glasses, not just paper cups, and some decent pillows.

This place was very thoughtfully designed. GREAT lighting. PLENTY of electrical outlets. Bathroom was well laid out with lots of area for your 'stuff.' I have to issues: the doors are SOOOOO heavy that any time a guest closes the door, the entire building feels like it's rumbling and there's an earthquake. The other is no option for streaming channels. Hard to believe. Easy parking. Still, I recommend this place.

The property and location was superb. The hotel was within walking distance to the beach and funk zone. The only complaint I would have is the room for the 2 beds are full beds only. So if you are a family it is a very tight squeeze for two adults to sleep in one bed.
