So I’m gonna be honest when I got there that night I was like man this is way too small but it grew on me very quickly. The bed is very comfortable. Everything is nice. Yes you have to watch out for the shower, but it’s not a big deal if you shoot at the right directions. I actually really enjoyed it. It was comfortable and the location was great. There is a gay bar, literally directly below you even though that is definitely not my thing. At the very end of the road, which is not far at all is my favorite little coffee shop right there on the corner. I enjoyed coffee there every morning. I went surfing and had a surfing coach that was a solo coach, etc., and we even had drone footage. It was so awesome. I honestly might come back here again. I stayed nine nights the people that work. There are very attentive and helpful. In fact they let me borrow their chair that they had every single day. The ABC store is only about a football field away as well, which has everything you need inside of it.

Nice little apt

Great if you're alone or don't mind small space. Only downside was sometimes the music outside was a little loud but nothing crazy at all. Parking is a bit expensive at $30 per night. Great shower!!!!! And walking distance to most stuff in the area. Can't go wrong for the price.

The room is really cute and small. The location is great.The noise from the street and the bar is laud all the time. The host is arrogant and the e-mail for check in or check out never come through and we had a hard time to talk to them on the phone.

I’m sorry to hear that you did not share the 5-star experience that our guests who have stayed before and after you have, although I understand that no two experiences are alike and expectations vary.

When booking this room we knew this it was going to be small but it was definitely smaller than expected. Room was clean. There was rust stains in the bathroom and if the curtain wasn’t pulled properly the water would fall outside of the shower creating a puddle. The water pressure is amazing and the water gets hot super quick. When using two different settings the floor in the shower collects water as it can’t drain fast enough. Easy check in and check out process. Mainly booked this room for location next to the beach. The hotel is at the very end of the main strip/street, so lots of walking. When booking parking it would have been helpful to be told where to go upon arrival as there is no driveway for this hotel. We had to park at the zoo across the street until the front desk could text us back where to go. The front desk staff was very helpful and kind. Only real complaint was that loading trucks were loud outside around 6 am most mornings and music from the restaurant/bar one floor below our room was loud at night. Coming from the east coast with the time change most nights we were in bed on the earlier side so that would keep us up and then the trucks would wake us up in the morning. Overall this place worked for what we needed.

Cockroach & very loud location

The location was only good in terms of getting in and out. The location is connected to a bar/nightclub so you will hear partygoers til 2am then at 5am the delivery’s begin right below your window into the building. We didn’t sleep well here. Found a cockroach. The bathroom sink is clogged and shower will flood the bathroom floor due to shower curtain not being long enough to keep water inside shower. This listing needs a little work and sound proofing.

Great unit, horrible location.

This awesome cozy unit was on the third floor- right above the Lulu's bar that starts to play loud music with screaming drunk people well past midnight. The bar advertisement said they have live music until 2AM. It was impossible to fall asleep anytime before 2am. The windows in the unit do not block any outside sound. So trucks that park on the street for whatever reason at 6am to offload who knows what, were heard every single time.

Not a quiet place to stay.

Right under the room is a bar and very loud music is playing all night long. The beat of the music just never stops. The street noises are very loud as well.
