10/10

My wife and I stayed overnight — we loved everything about our stay. The rooftop was peaceful and a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset. Short walk to a variety of restaurants, coffee shops and the Seaside Market. Staff was friendly. The ability to “check out” records to play in the room was a pretty creative perk, too. We were first-time guests, but we plan on being repeat guests in the future!

The property is definitely coming along. If they pay attention to a few more details it could truly be great.

8/10

The property is located in a interesting area close to restaurants and some shopping. the only downside is that there is neither an elevator or ramp to the upstairs rooms so dragging a suitcase up is challenging.
2-night trip

The only thing was the hotel was difficult to find where to check in and how to park. However, when we called the staff was very helpful.

Great location and views. Property is very nice and the rooftop patio is spectacular. Should be noted that there is no elevator so not great for lots of luggage or mobility issues.
