A few blocks from downtown and far from the beach but it is walkable if you are okay with ups and downs streets. Easy and free parking, clean room and super friendly staff.

Breakfast was wonderful and had quite a variety of items. It was nice to have the option to get wildfired pizzas there at night, although we didn't take advantage of that but we did get a glass of wine around the fire pit.

The property is lovely and top notch for the neighborhood which is filled with so many smaller, outdated motels that are desperately in need of upgrades. Kudos for leading the way with this first class modernization to the property. The facilities are great but its the staff that really stands out.

Probably the only hotel that I've stayed at that literally excels in all areas - everything from the classy modern room design, to the excellent sound proofing, to the small touches like having free coffee and water all day...every aspect of our stay was fantastic! And the breakfast...it was the BEST free breakfast I have ever had, full of incredible quality and massive variety of items, and I mean in my life! To top it all off, they have free EV charging for guests and parking was included, which just adds to the value of this place. Lastly, they have amazing staff - they were attentive without being overbearing, and were super helpful. The only thing I wish they had was more rooms - they were sold out and I could only stay here 1 night instead of 2. 5/5 would recommend and will be back!
The best free breakfast of any hotel? YES it was
Small but charming outdoor seating with heat lamps at night

everything great. best part is rooms are very quiet. all good. my only comment was breakfast. coffee was not good, no toaster, and offerings were too complex for me. just love fresh simple stuff / like freshly made cappuccinos, yummy fresh bagels, cream cheese & freshly cut fruit or bananas.
