Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- Unbeatable location right on the boardwalk—sand is 20 steps away
- Heated pool (85°F) and hot tub (100°F) with ocean views
- Renovated 'retro-luxe' mid-century aesthetic that feels fresh, not dusty
Pikakatsaus: It’s a stylish, clean crash pad for beach lovers who don't mind falling asleep to the thumping bass of the club next door.
Arvioinut @lilystravelss: I stayed here for a beach getaway and the location is unmatched—literally right on the boardwalk. The renovated rooms are so fresh, and watching the sunset from my balcony was the highlight of the trip.

Reality check
The free breakfast is convenient but often described as 'cold' or 'basic'—don't expect gourmet.
- You plan to be out partying in PB until 2am anyway
- You want to surf or swim immediately after waking up
- You appreciate a boutique, design-forward vibe over a generic chain hotel
Siisteys ja kunnossapito
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is consistent. Most guests find rooms 'super clean' upon arrival.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though older reviews mention slow drains. The renovation updated most fixtures.
- Maintenance: Renovated 'retro' style hides wear well, but salt air takes a toll on balcony furniture.
- Linens & towels: Crisp Egyptian cotton sheets and decent towels. Beach towels are provided free.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; rooms are generally neutral, though ocean dampness is inevitable on the coast.
