Very unique property and loved the retro vibes. Bathrooms are dates. Upon my first night I killed a roach in the bathroom vanity area. I called the front desk to make them aware and they asked if I had a photo or video. I cleaned up the debris and flushed it. Not sure why they would think I would lie about a roach in the room. I noticed another one in the bed the next morning and did take a pic and video. They did not hesitate to change my room. However, It was sad that it had to be proven to them. After this I had no other issues.

The fun atmosphere was remarkable, especially for the price. We had fun in the arcade, at the pool and playing a large jenga game by the fire outside. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The Trolley blue line was only about a three minute walk, which was so convenient. I can’t wait to go back!

Really enjoyed the design and visuals of the hotel. Liked that there was a common area to hang out and the pool seemed pretty cool. It would have been nice to have a mini fridge to hold onto food. Really enjoyed the cruisers that we rode to the beach. Would come back again.
