This is a ONESTAR hotel.(If you want luxury, check in across the street at one of the«H» hotels, and you’ll understand what luxury is. You’ll also pay about 5 times more while you’re at it.) Facility is fine. New paint makes a nice difference. Common areas in the lobby and breakfast area are as nice as any 1 star I’ve ever stayed in,(and I travel every week.) Elevator is smallish and can’t handle but 3 or so people, but it works fine and gets you where you need to be, without excessive waiting,(which I’ve experienced elsewhere.) Room is likewise fine. Beds were decent, marble sink and surround, TV with remote, coffee maker, all standard. New massaging shower head and curved curtain rod made showering an actual pleasure.(Plenty of pressure and hot water, too.) Best feature is the ocean view, as all rooms face eastward. Balcony with chairs is very nice, and the ocean breeze made for a delightful environment. Room service was adequate, as the beds were made every day and the floor vacuumed.(Towel replenishment was lacking, though.) NOEVIDENCE of any creepy-crawlies at all. None. Outside walkways are probably the worst feature, as they are older and harder to maintain. The doors to the rooms are metal, and are pretty scruffy. Definitely the worse feature of this place. Still, they have key card locks and are securable. A wall safe is available for valuables. Decent place FOR A ONESTARHOTEL. Keep that in mind when you set your expectations.
