Room was clean had all necessities. Easy to get around on foot. A lot of noise from adjacent businesses and very hard to sleep at night. Hot water did not work at first in both the sink and shower, but eventually started to work in shower. The bathroom had a gas smell coming in for a while but eventually dissipated.

The room was inexpensive, so I didn't expect a lot. However..... The room was cold on arrival - no heat. The manager gave me a small electric space heater and explained that the electric company had a blown transformer they wouldn't fix. Obvious nonsense since the property did have electric power. The room had a small refrigerator and microwave - no coffee maker. I brought my own one-cup coffee maker. When I ran the heater and coffee maker, it blew the circuit breaker. My son woke up the second day with bites on his arms. Yep, bed bugs. There was no one in the office, (despite advertising that there was 24/7,) but through the Ring camera, the manager told me, (from Scotts Valley,) where to find a key to a different room, maintaining that EcoLab sprayed the rooms every week. You had to run the shower/faucet for about 10 minutes to get hot water, which did eventually get there. All room lighting was from bright, ceiling mounted floodlights. Not adaptable to reading in bed or watching TV. The location was great with an easy walk to the wharf and the Boardwalk, but I will not be staying there again.

I booked a two night stay and on the second night we lost all power to the room. No accommodation was made, no alternative room and no electrician was sent out as the manager stated. Made for a very long and dark night and awkward morning trying to get ready.

First off, uneven driveway. Vary in slope from the parking to the walking to and from rooms. Hotel sits on a hill like parking slope. Cars have to park in tough angles. There are stairs on the property. This is Not really stated on the listing. Definitely a no frills hotel. This was a low price option and was decent for the area and cloae to the beach and boardwalk, 5min walk. Live roach found in bathroom. Killed it, no others found during our 1 night stay. 3 stars for clean.....due to a box a food from jack n the box found in dresser drawer. Looked like possibly kids hid food from parents because half eaten burger, all fries left and 2 tacos left in a "munchies" box closed up in the drawer. Hotel staff obviously did not do a thorough cleaning. Very noisy upstairs when you stay on lower floor. Definitely a hotel for families. If it was not for the price and location, we would have stayed elsewhere.

Close to downtown and the beach. Also has multiple good options within walking distance. Staff was friendly and attentive. The room we have came with a beautiful view of the ocean and the boardwalk. 10/10 would recommend.

The property went through a renovation, but was done very poorly. The fan wasn't wired in for the bathroom, creating mold in there. Outlet plates weren't fully attached to walls, batteries were dead in the remote, shower door panels weren't straight, causing water to go everywhere, and they only had AC, no heat. Overall pretty disappointed with the hotel, but I guess that's what I get for paying less for it.

The place seemed to be clean and had everything we needed for just a night sleep so I can’t complain. I did like that. There was two separate rooms in our room with a door dividing for more privacy. The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful. Didn’t realize how close it was to the boardwalk when I booked it.
