Great location, good staff, nice room with great hot shower. TV is on a dish network and never worked. Men tried fixing it, but seemed hopeless as it was a systemic fault.

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.

4/10 Fair

電子レンジ、冷蔵庫、食器類を部屋に置いてほしい。出入口の扉の鍵をもう一つ増やしてほしい。エアコンが使えなかった。
窓は大きくていいが、各部屋の窓が密集しているのでブラインドを下ろしていないと窓が開けれない。ベット最高！
コーヒーメーカーがあったがカビが生えており、前泊者が使ったままの水が入ったままで、お湯を作ってみると黒色のお湯が出てきた。テレビ周辺は広いがテレビ前の引き出しに食器類や冷蔵庫、電子レンジ等を置いてほしい。
部屋は広くて最高！空調は天井のシーリングファンがあったので、エアコンなくても何とかなった。部屋の天井、壁が薄いため足音や会話が聞こえるので寝ているとその音で目が覚める。
ハンドソープと化粧水等がトイレ側壁面に固定されていたので使いにくい。ドライヤーがクローゼット内にあったので長時間探した。換気扇から隣の部屋の会話が聞こえてくるので不愉快。
