I loved that it was so close to everything. Our room 4 was in the corner of a very busy street therefore was very noisy all night. Thank god for our noise machine. Other than that it was very convenient.

If you're looking for a nice affordable room just a block away from the beach and a short walk to Newport Pier - this is it! The staff was friendly, the room was clean and nicely updated. I will definitely be staying here again.

Rosalinda

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I tried going 4 different times to the reception desk and no one was there. There was a power outage so we were left with no power for 6 hours ! What upset me was that the pizza place we wanted to order told us the power was going out before it happened which means the hotel had to have known as well and didnt tell anyone. There was dust in the rooms. I barely fit inside the shower .
