Great place except for tiny bathroom

Great hotel with great location and nice, relaxed hotel service. The rooms are small, but comfortable. The only drawback was the tiny shower/no bathtub in the bathroom. Otherwise, great place!!

Very cute and excellent location!

We thought the hotel was so cute and had a great feel to it. The location was excellent as we walked right out the back to run on the beach walk every morning! The staff were really helpful. The two complaints were the parking was really a problem and the plumbing - hot/cold water mix. The hotel did fix the plumbing problem within a few hours. I would recommend to those who want a vintage beach experience and don’t need a lot of amenities - our style but recognise this isn’t for all.

Traveler's tip on local attractions

Check out the Long Beach Aquarium - it is relatively new and really excellent!

Too noisy

To sum up my stay here: it was way too noisy for me. I go on vacation to relax and enjoy some quiet away from my urban apartment. The rooms were clean, however if you want some peace and quite on your vacation, I would stay somewhere else.
