Decent for one night stay
Pros:

For one nights stay, our tiny room wasn’t worth $60USD. I understand the close proximity to the beach is why they charge too much. I suggest people to look elsewhere further up on the Main Street, where they will get more for this value.

Cons:

The hotel staff were nice, especially the lady that runs the bar. I didn’t catch her name, but she was beyond friendly while we were hanging at the pool. The pool was small but did the trick. Pancakes in the morning before we left to San Jose was nice.

Not recommended
Pros:

My dorm room is very big.
Location is not far from downtown.
Hot shower is strong.

Cons:

Few homeless people hanging outside the hostel for overnight.

Dorm room is a separate building from main lobby where to get drinking water and coffee.

I stayed 3 nights, check in Friday check out Monday. On Monday 05:30 am train runs frequently and making extreme big sounds, impossible fall asleep.

Staff are nice. However, one of them promise me to ask the manger prepare some small US note for me, in fact she haven't do it.

The parking area is assessable to the building. Not secure.
