"Nice stay with ocean view from balcony. Very clean room. It’s an older property but has been updated nicely. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was very nice. Environmental services staff were very friendly and kept the property looking great. The street stays busy into the night but it’s pretty soundproof in the room. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance. There were a few homeless folks in the area but it was not a problem. Mostly an older crowd, I didn’t see any kids at all. I would visit again if I were in the area."
