The rooms were clean and relatively quiet, although we have a dog who barks at everything, so it may have just seemed louder to us. Hot water and Dove toiletries were abundant, and we appreciated th proximity to the beach!

This was our second time staying here, and it met our expectations once again. For the price point, the room was clean and comfortable—no frills, but everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The location is very convenient, set in a nice neighborhood close to the beach and within walking distance to the zoo. We would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area and looking for a budget-friendly option.
