We stayed at this hotel for one night on our way through on vacation. It was a last minute plan and options were limited. I was very unsure of this hotel from the look of the outside, but very pleasantly surprised when we got to our room! It was clean, updated, large and comfortable. Nothing like you would expect from the outside appearance. The price was great, the room was excellent (though the air conditioner is rather noisy), and the location is really good. It is a fun and easy walk to the beach. The parking is mostly (but not all) under roof. Be sure that you have a parking pass from the front dest. Seriously. They have ONLY one space per room. The owner is very nice and helpful. The one downfall is that there is no elevator, so the third floor is a little rough with luggage to drag. Be sure to ask for a newly updated room - some are, some are not - ours was.
