Our stay with James was great!
We wanted to check in much earlier than check in time as we had about 6 suitcases in luggages and we didn't want to keep it in our car for hours parked somewhere and even though he had another guest checking out the day of, he was able to clean and prep the place for us as requested hours ahead of the normal check in time which helped us greatly!
He provided very detailed instructions with photos making contactless check in a breeze.
The place was very clean, well stocked with supplies, goodies to take to the beach, and even small mint chocolates placed on the beds, table, and other places. The partial view of the ocean was very nice.
He also provided free parking during our stay. it which made it easy going in an out. Other hotels were indeed charging $35-$60 to park for the night l and free street parking is very difficult to find unless perhaps your a local.
Even though we had free parking, the location was so close to the beach, less than 10 minutes walk and many other restaurants and stores, we ended up walking half our time here. It is very close to the Hilton so we just walked to the beach and enjoyed the fireworks and walked home!
Overall we would definitely book with James again!
