Nice remodeled hotel with a European flair. A little noisy close to the highway with road noise. Close easy 5 minute walk to the ocean beach. All in all I’d stay there again.

Across the hwy from the beach was easy enough access. This area is a 45 minute walk or 6 min drive from newport pier where most of the restaurants and shops are. I preferred being slightly away from that while still being able to access Eat Chow, Tide Poole, Vacancy Coffee and Cappy's with short walks. Staff was friendly and helpful! Beds were comfy, but showers could use an upgrade. Overall great experience :)

The staff that was there was very accommodating, the room smells good, but not cheap air freshener kind of good, Its more or an herb, or a flower maybe, smooth and friendly for my allergic nose. Theres a restaurant next door that opens early and close late and they have good choice of food as well. this hotel is very convenient, although you can hear your neighbor, I will still choose it over any other hotel nearby.

Overall a good experience. The hotel has restaurants and mini-markets very close with many more options available within 10 minute walk. Beach is a very short walk away. Only issue we had was someone pulled the fire alarm at 5am.

Room wasn’t super clean, but we only stayed one night so we powered through. Great location to the beach, simple walk across the street! Beds were comfy but room was very basic. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice. Parking lot is easy to find but tiny!

Overall good.

Overall good experience, great location in my opinion. Just steps from the beach. I feel their parking fee is excessive and their stalls are very narrow. The lobby was warm inside as if they were trying to save power. Second time staying here. Their prices make it affordable.

Nice place to stay and super close to the beach! Being able to walk to the beach was the best part. The rooms are simple but they have everything you need. It’s not a luxury hotel but a cheap way to be close to the beach. Worth it!!

Upon arrival we got offered a late check out and an upgraded room! Staff was very nice and the hotel was very secure and clean. After hours you had to enter a passcode to enter the building so that made us feel very safe. Will for sure be staying here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
First impression made us feel like we made a mistake. You get inside and it was not bad. Staff was limited. I think we seen two different men working the 3 days we were there and we didn't see them all the time or all day. Check in was not a good experience and i was charged twice but got it straightened out once we got home. Comfortable and clean rooms. Building was hot but room was comfortable in temperature. Nice view to the ocean and a super easy stroll over to the beach. Easy and short drive to any establishment one could possibly need. Unless you just want to be at the beach i would recommend a vehicle. Would stay again!
