Disliked: Cleanliness
As I said the floors were STICKY like an old time movie theater…
Not Good..
Fantastic location to visit this little beach town. Really appreciate the parking spot with our hotel stay. Great walking proximity to EVERYTHING! will definitely be back!
Location is just steps from the beach. Small, older rooms but clean and comfortable. Restaurants galore within walking distance. Not as quiet as I expected due to Oktoberfest outside the hotel (not their fault just wish I would have known). Friendly staff. Convenient to many Dan Diego attractions. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Cute, clean hotel just steps from the beach. It was fun watching the surfers. The hotel had a beautiful interior courtyard with tables, a fountain and string lights. The staff was helpful and let us check in early. Would definitely stay here again.
Clean rooms, close to restaurants and the beach. Nice place to stay if you plan on taking your dog. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bathroom is pretty small, but CLEAN and serviceable. We will definitely go back.

Liked: Staff & service
There was barely any beach view the room was muggy and the toilet placement was ridiculous
We came down for a wedding weekend for a family member. We travel.with our 12 yo Lab Lexi wherever we go. This is place is the most dog friendly place we have stayed at in a long time.
The staff is very helpful and will assist in any way they can. The room was fresh and clean. We had a first floor with a patio area that had a view of the pier.
Would we stay again? Definitely, next time we head down that way we will stay again.
