The room was cute, clean, and very comfortable for our 3 night stay. Every staff member was friendly and helpful, and although there is construction going on we weren't affected by it at all. We didn't pay to park in the garage spaces underneath the hotel, but didn't have any problem finding street parking. The location is fantastic - located in a quieter area just steps from multiple beach parks, cute restaurants, and a short drive from anything else we wanted to go to.

Hotel was under renovation. I contacted Expedia to see if they could move my reservation to another hotel and they were unable to resolve my issue. Hotel refused to release my reservation or move me to another room since safety box wasn't working. Wifi didn't work. My balcony view was to a rental car carwash and taken apart car
