Outdated and getting run down. Beds are comfortable and it’s in a great location. Pool is closed and has weeds growing in it. Shower didn’t drain.

Inexpensive place to stay
Good location and reasonable price. The staff were kind and responsive. The hotel needs an update and a refresh. The parking garage really needs help.

I booked there because they claimed that it has a pool. The pool was closed and it was a big lie. They told me I can go to beach 4 blocks away instead. This is sad.
