Location location! Loved being so close to the beach and pier! Public parking garage was right next door and super convenient. Cute coffee shop and smoothie place steps away. Room was small but clean. Nothing fancy but nice place to rest. Just wish they had better pillows. It’s an older property but for the price and location I’d recommend.
