This location is close to everything. The pier, shopping and food. What you should know is that it is run down and needs updating as well as an exterminator. There were roaches in the apartment, and bums sometimes right outside the door. The view is of an ugly roof top business next door , but walk downstairs and there is the beautiful ocean view. The beds were not comfortable and creaky and the head board was stained. The bathroom door is see thru so we had to open the closet door in the hallway when someone was in there or you can see everything. Overall yeah its budget but with the roaches and lack of comfort in certain amenties I would have gladly paid more elsewhere.
