Although a bit run down, the rooms were clean and had a fun mid-century style; coffee and pastries were nice to have in the morning. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
Good location.Close to beach and could walk to restaurants

This small boutique hotel is quaint and near the beach. Not a far walk to the funk zone. Perfect for being close to the zoo as well. Overall a great experience.
The check in was a breeze. The room was clean and quiet space. I’ve stayed here a couple times previously and enjoy the hotel and the convenience of the beach, shops & dining. I would recommend a stay here.
Rooms smelt/looked clean. Pool is heated. Patio area in multiple spots where we hung out and qte dinner for multiple rooms comfortable beds.

Room was clean, staff and lobby were nice. Only thing is I could hear the people upstairs foot steps and when they shower. Other than that it was good and I would stay there again
