Pros:
- Close to the beach
- Next door to Von’s (which also has a Starbucks)
- Nice modern renovations inside, beautiful plants outside
- Very friendly and helpful owners
Cons:
- Right next to the Jack in the Box and gas stations with lots of sketchy characters around, especially at night.
- Parking is a pain - anything bigger than a small sedan will not fit in the few awkwardly situated spaces that belong to the building so we had to move around on the street parking avoiding time limitations. But it’s free and it’s California so not entirely unexpected.
- Cleanliness could have been better, especially in Covid times. I had to get disinfectant and wipe down all the fingerprints and smudges on high touch surfaces as well as crumbs and dried spills on the side table, floors were grimy, had a stained towel and there was hair on spare linen, mini toiletry bottles were partially used.
- Sound travels through walls and from outside like it is in the room with you.
Overall, it was an okay value for money especially if you’re only sleeping there.
