Very close to the beach, restaurants and shopping (convenient); however the property sits under a busy bar/restaurant and an alley, producing significant noise and early-morning disturbances.

Never again
Pros:

Location

Cons:

There’s a restaurant above it and it’s constantly noisy as well as a engine inside of the wall or sump pump that goes off every hour. The rooms are clean enough but the bed was terrible the pillows we’re terrible

Run, do NOT stay unless you're gone ALL day
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. There was a working television and air conditioner.
The bar/restaurant above served decent food.
The two rooms facing the main street had patios. There was a working mini frig and microwave.

Cons:

It's a basement conversion under a bar & restaurant, facing an alley. The noise from the bar above starts by 9:00am until 11:00pm. Trash trucks come through the alley at 6:30am. No screens on alley-facing window to keep bugs out. Room 7, the "Boat" room is the size of a sleeper-car room. The mini sink and toilet are in the shower, with only a partial curtain for the shower. There's nowhere to put toiletries or clothing.
The strong smell of cleaning chemicals was bad.

Sauberkeit und Freundlichkeit des Personals top, das Zimmer mehr als ein Flop😡
Pros:

Ich war im Boat Room (Room 7). Der Check in, das Reinigen der Zimmer war vorzüglich.

Cons:

Der Lärm von Nomads Canteen über dem war unvorstellbar. Es ist eine Frechheit diesen Raum für 150$ die Nacht zu vermieten. Das Zimmer ist eng, das „Badezimmer“, mit einem Duschvorhang vom Zimmer abgetrennt besitzt Dusche mit Toilette und Waschbecken auf 1m x 1,50m!! Die Toilettenspülung war defekt, so das ich den Zulauf abdrehen musste. Tut mir leid, aber so ein Zimmer darf man keinem Gast für 150$ anbieten.

Overall great value for your stay.
Pros:

2 complimentary drinks for the bar up stairs. Good vibes and meet new people. Room always was replaced with fresh towels and clean when I was out for the day. Not far from the beach. A lot of restaurants and shopping spots around.

Cons:

Good location for an average stay.

awful
Pros:

the room was big

Cons:

there is no parking, the bed was broken collapsed , there was bloody snot on the bathroom wall, it is underneath an establishment that moves furniture into the late hours and no matter how loud you put noise cancelling on and ear plugs - still hear it. no staff onsight- probably because there would be more people demanding refunds and giving complaints
