If you’re ok with old facilities and no AC and all about location this is your place.
Pros:

Location location location

Cons:

It’s very old, there’s been no remodeling since I started staying here in 2017. Everything is old like 70’s old. I know remodeling will up the cost but the cost now is only 50-80 cheaper.

The extreme heat and lack of air conditioning made our stay uncomfortable, and I’m unsure whether I would return.
Pros:

I liked the beachfront location and the easy access to the beach.

Cons:

The room was extremely hot and had no air conditioning. We had to request fans, but the heat made our stay very uncomfortable. I have health issues, which made these conditions especially difficult. We were unable to move to another hotel because none were available, so we had to remain in the room. This experience has made me unsure whether I would stay here again.

Excellent location. Can't beat it.
Staff is amazing.

We had a nice stay at the Beach Cottages and will stay there again.
Pros:

The location is great. Beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. It was a very cute complex. It was a very walkable area - lots of food, stores, beach, ...

Cons:

The rooms are a little tired. They need updating, but really they worked, because of all the positive reasons to stay there. It was clean and there was plenty of storage. The bed was okay.
