Although this is an older hotel, it has had updates and is a very affordable stay in a convenient location. It is a short walk to the water with lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. Staff are very helpful and friendly. The hotel offers some free activities, such as beach yoga, ukelele lessons and lei making. A great addition! My only complaint is that there is a large building between the hotel and the ocean. Although it blocks much of the view, you do get a partial ocean view between the buildings. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The location was perfect. Easy walk to everything. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were average. Nothing to write home about. Great view though. The breakfast was absolute horrible. Very small space for the amount of people. Very limited selection for the price that you pay as it is not included. I wouldn’t stay here again mainly for the breakfast. However, there was a lady working the breakfast clearing tables and greeting everyone. She was amazing. She was very helpful, friendly and extremely hard working. Even when others were very rude to her she kept that smile on her face. In this day and age people should be recognized for their work ethic. Guests should learn to treat the staff with respect.

The infrastructure is old. The balcony sliding door is noisy when the wind blows. Fridge is way too old. Actually, everything needs an upgrade. The pictures in the website are not accurate. Plus the free breakfast??? It is a mess. Way too crowded for a small place. If you want real comfort, read the reviews before you book.

The staff was friendly and the hotel cleaned. I felt that at the breakfast area were a little disorganized. No enough tables and couples taking tables for 4-6 people. If the hotel personnel assign tables, it would probably be more organized and less waiting time to find table for families.

I do not feel the price we paid for this hotel matched what we received. The hotel room was mediocre and the pool was not very impressive or inviting. We had issues controlling the temperature in our room but the staff was helpful in resolving our issues quickly. The bathroom did not have a ventilation fan and there was a open space between the room the toilet was in and sink area. The free breakfast was not great quality and was extremely crowded. Overall, we were not super impressed with this property.
