Make sure they clean
The floor was filthy… like black feet filthy.. we stayed in room 110. The front desk and employees were very nice but the hotel felt mostly neglected. Our pillow had blood on it and so did the leather couch. Dreadful experience with a good view and friendly yet oblivious employees.

Overpriced
Front desk was nice enough but this was like a camping experience. Good location but way overpriced for the low quality. Poor workers need more help to keep place maintained, running, and clean. Also a junk fee at check in of $28.

Customer service was horrid. Front desk did not know protocol, could not get answers to simple questions. Room was dirty, bathroom stained, bed had stains and the fan was beyond dusty. Checking out- no one could provide a receipt and the one I got was not accurate. Talked to someone on the phone who scolded me for booking with a third party app. Terribly run business. Will never return and advise anyone against staying there. I work in hospitality and I've never paid more for putrid service.

Great location
Location was great but checkin and parking were not as great as hoped. One poor lady seemed to run the whole place and room was not quite ready by check in time. Parking is extremely limited and street parking is allowed for only 90 minutes between 9am and 6pm. Room with balcony was nice though and met our needs.

Lovely place but we were asked for additional fees over and above what I had reserved and paid in full for on Expedia. Was wiped in the end but an unpleasant situation.
Expedia were also more than useless in doing anything to support having spoken to 4 agents and no kind of action or ownership taken.

The hotel does not have on site parking availability necessarily but has other lots nearby they own you can use. The hotel has poor staffing is not a 24/7 desk and cannot deal with appliances in rooms not working quickly as a result. A homeless person was sleeping in the stairway of entrance when I checked out in morning .

Usual property, with many artifacts and artistic touches. It’s a perfect spot for ocean breezes and a few spectacular ocean views. The staff is amazingly helpful, thoughtful and fun. Rooms are all very unique and intentionally dated. Breakfast and happy hour treats available at no cost. This hotel is one of a kind.
