    Unique property. Great location. Spacious room, living room and kitchen. It seems like these were apartments converted to hotel room. I would stay again. Thin walls and ceilings and could have better blinds.

    It’s not fancy but spacious and convenient location.

    No Air Conditioning. This was not clearly disclosed when booking. We were told the ocean breeze and ceiling fans would be sufficient. They were not. We sweated through the night and my baby could not sleep comfortably. In June this is not acceptable, especially at these prices. Parking is NOT free. Their website implies complimentary parking but we were charged. That is false advertising and needs to be corrected or disclosed upfront. Noise. Because there is no AC you are forced to keep your windows open all night. We are right next to the street and the weekend noise was nonstop - people fighting, partying, and being loud well into the night. My baby could not sleep. There is no way to escape it without AC to close the windows. The kitchen sink smelled of mildew. Not what you expect when you are paying for a suite with a kitchen. The staff was not upfront about any of these issues. I will be requesting a partial refund. Travelers with young children or anyone visiting in warm weather should look elsewhere.

    Cal Mar - stayed there 1 night with our kids. It was a decent stay; very dated. Could stand for some basic modernization

    Having a small apartment with kitchen and extra living space made my extended stay very comfortable.

    Great location. Very clean. Kitchy 70's vibe building

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This property & the suites are charming. Although the rooms are dated, they are impeccably clean & fully stocked with all the kitchen items you would need for light cooking. The staff is helpful & friendly & parking was easy & always available. Even the pool & inner courtyard are "vintage" with well established flowers & foilage that takes you to a different time & place. I loved my stay here & will be back again.

    Very good place to stay near the beach!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The front desk lady was beyond helpful and very delightful she even came to our room and made sure our TV was working when we had some trouble with it. Can’t wait to come back

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Amazing location! Very clean, congenial staff. Pool clean. Kitchen facilities. Furnishings and grounds are definitely dated, but comfortable enough.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Hotel is fine. Parking is available. Room is big and clean but the carpet needs an update. AC not working. Walking distance to almost everywhere.
