This is a solid stay for the cost, maybe the best at this cost. Walk 19 feet, and you are on the walking path with 5 thousand beautiful people enjoying the sun in the coolest part of the path.
Communication was great. Parking great. Coffee great.
1. If you stay here, you might be in a room with an old shower—pull the handle out hard WHILE twisting clockwise. There is another fan in the closet—we didn't see it until we checked out. The room never got unbearable. It stays cool.
2. If you are in the building above the bar, the open patio door will include the noise of the party until about 2AM. It's not terrible, but if you are sensitive to sound at night, request a room away from the bar.
3. If you come in with sandy feet, there are several places to water off, but the main outside shower was broken. The other spots are there, but they are hidden. Keep looking.
4. I sensed that there were some long-term renters at the hotel. It's got that vibe, but it's not bad; just prepare your expectations.
If you are a 4 or 5-star guy, your demands will not be met. For the rest of us, once you acclimate the older charm it's great.
Life Pro Tip - walk to Handles Ice Cream. It's unreal.
