Wonderful stay
Really great. Clean and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable. We were having problems with the TV -went down to front desk and asked for help-someone came within minutes. Very reasonably priced for the location- steps from the pier

Stay was fine.
Our stay was satisfactory. It's in a great location. The room stayed nice and cool which was nice. Would have been nice if the closet light would have had a switch to shut it off so it wasn't distracting throughout the night. The lobby smelled a bit like there had been a recent "plumbing issue". But other than that the stay was fine.

I was bummed they overbooked but so grateful when they made my original room booking happen anyway! I LOVED my room which was a double queen bed. I had room 411 which had a bathtub, coffee maker, large dresser and a refrigerator that they brought in upon request. I am so happy I saved money staying at this hotel as opposed to the ones with crowded pools and crowded restaurant. I felt much more comfortable at this hotel. I did not need any amenities because there is so much to do in walking distance. This is a great place to stay and afforded me to be able to enjoy my trip and do things. Thank you so much for the great price and cute/comfy/bright room. I am so thankful

The lobby and room were nice (aesthetically). Other than that, it was a very disappointing stay. Especially for the cost. The woman in the lobby during the daytime wasn't friendly at all. The 2 young men in the evening were great though. We were charged extra fees upon check-in for coffee pods and some mini bottles of water. The walls were paper thin and in addition to hearing doors slamming and the neighbor doing his business in the bathroom, we could hear sirens, alarms, traffic, and homeless people screaming outside all night long. Our TV didn't work so we couldn't even try to use that to drown out the excessive noises. Good luck sleeping. And the water pressure in the shower was ridiculously poor (on the 2nd floor), yet the water in the bathroom sink came out like a fire hose. The bed was comfortable.

Not great
The location was great (though the entrance is on 2nd street not as listed), there were four pillows on each bed the mattresses were comfortable and the valet parking was super easy but this place really disappointed us. We booked through a third party with breakfast included which was $5 off at a local place - given a coffee was over 5$ each that want a great start. That was also only on our first day. The rooms are tiny, the walls are paper thin, no bathroom fan so everything was damp the whole stay. We had a herd of elephants above us and in the bathroom is a vent where you can hear everything going on next door and when the upstairs toilet flushes it sounds like you’re going to drown. The air con was rubbish - either icy blasts belting out or a luke warm trickle and the noise from the street was awful all day and night - didn’t feel like we had any windows for all the sound proofing they gave. The shower ran hot and cold whilst in it making it a lottery to use. Rooms taped off due to renovation and the whole place could really do with some TLC.
