Nice hotel but amazing staff
It was at a convenient location. The hotel staff were friendly and very sweet. We left a phone and Shaun ( front desk) went above and beyond to have it flown back to Long Beach.

PLEASE READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING
Let me start by saying that this location is INCREDIBLE! 1 block from the beach, right next to restaurants and so much more!
The young woman who worked the front desk was friendly and welcoming. We appreciated her so much! The other folks, not so much.
The room was standard, but incredibly disappointing. The furniture was visibly old and stained. The bed was sinking in the middle. The bathroom has an odor of a portapotty and there were brown stains next to the toilet. The towel rail was broken; there was a piece of the metal rail just sticking out. Yikes.
We were so excited for the jets in the tub. Guess what? They didn’t work. The best part? There was no elevator so we got a nice workout carrying our luggage up and down flights of steps.
I really wish I would have read the reviews before booking as I saved for months for this trip and was disappointed with the stay we had. Unfortunately, we would not recommend this hotel nor would we come back.

The staff was amazing. The place is an oldie and looks like it needs some renovations in a bad way. It was a great place to sleep, no creepy vibes.

Good location, and better price than some of the hotels in the area in June. I like that there is a room for bags for when we are coming in and our room is not ready or for when we still have time after checkout before our boat arrives.
