My wife's first reaction was 'maybe we can only stay here 1 night'. It is more like a place you would think was great if you were in college or young adult just looking for good location to surf or beach. We are in our 50s and tend to stay at places that are a little nicer. The longer we stayed, we found it to be OK but just small and dated. The price is fair for what it is though. If we wanted something nicer, we probalby should have looked higher up the food chain. There are a lot of nice hotels nearby. Some people have complained about the noise and we did hear street noise but we travel with a white noise app on our phone and used that to block it out. The noise seemed to die off relatively early and wasn't really an issue for us. The patio is nice and has good view of Zoo and beach.
We own 2 Airbnb locations. This would be a lot better with a few easy updates. There is no dresser or anywhere to organize your clothes. We had piles on the floor. There are very few glasses and utensils for leftovers. There is a microwave and small refrigerator. The hotel has an ice machine but there is no ice bucket. The curtains are broken so don't hang fully on the rods. We had to use hair clips to hold them together to keep out the light. As others have said, it is quite small, especially the tiny bathroom. It is in a good location just across from the zoo and a block from the beach so that is what you are paying for. If they would modernize it with paint, some basic decorations and redo the bathroom and closet area, they could probalby charge more and it would be much nicer. We sent a couple of questions via the Airbnb app to host when we checked in and never got responses. We did get a couple of messages during the stay that seemed to be automated or cut and paste. We thought about giving a 3 but the location is good and we were ok with it by the end so rated a 4. 3 probably wouldn't be fair but we expected more from the picutres. If our expectation was basic and focused on the location, 4 would probably be right.
