Breakfast was the best part of the hotel. The staff was also wonderful. The hotel is very run down and smells bad, even in the rooms. The partial ocean view is a tiny view of a wave barely over the roof of the building.

It is old, some furniture are new and a little bit of paint. Not enough for me to call it renovated. We decided for this hotel because of the price. It is what you think it will be for the price. Not more but also not less. Good breakfast. In total ok for the price.
