local vibe

Perfect for budget seekers!

I actually really liked staying here. The down stairs restaurant was great, and I met some locals who offered me a beer. The bed was comfortable after a long flight.

It wasn’t too expensive, but definitely not a steal either.

Great Food and Clean Rooms!

We stayed for 3 nights and loved the clean rooms! Super comfy beds and no bugs, which is a big plus. The restaurant had some of the best breakfast I've ever had. I tried the bento box, and it was huge! Only thing was the closet didn’t have doors. Still, overall a solid spot for a family getaway!

air conditioning issue

The automated check-in process worked seamlessly, with a staff member ensuring our arrival went smoothly, even allowing us to drop off our bags early. The room was spacious, clean, and had an updated bathroom, but I found the air conditioning was off upon arrival, making the room stuffy at first. The shower's pressure fluctuated, which was a bit annoying, though the bed was comfortable without noticeable wear.

Had a great trip with friends! We checked out the beach and some amazing local sights. The rooms were simple but clean, and we really appreciated the convenient location and free parking. Great value for the price. I recommend this spot if you're looking for a straightforward place to stay.

The shower pressure was inconsistent, which was a bit annoying during our stay.

Perfect spot for explorers! Clean and comfortable accommodations made our stay enjoyable. The nearby restaurant serves amazing home-cooked meals. Don't miss the grilled cheese with ham—it’s divine. Check-in can be confusing, so arrive early to avoid hassles.
