Convenient yes, Comfortable sort of
The bed was extremely firm. The sofa sleeper was more comfortable. The kitchen area window in the roof suite does not close fully so there is no stopping the outside noise. Very convenient. Roof resting area is nice for 2-4. If you want to sleep get a room behind the pool area closer to the jacuzzi. Ongoing construction across the street is very loud.

Will definitely stay here again
My second time staying here. Really like this property. Nice and quiet yet close to the beach and restaurants. Only two tiny pools, with no real sun, but you have the beach and Pacific right nearby. Room was nothing fancy but perfectly fine. Excellent housekeeping. Great value for the money.

Do not stay here!!
We were shocked when we saw our bed. When we opened the blanket we saw multiple pieces of hairs and the sheet was super wrinkled and strained. It was so clear that they haven’t changed the sheets from the previous guests. Also, the overnight agent was super creepy and was staring us! Do not stay here!

Viva la Cora
The pool and hot tub are nice if a little dated. This quaint, historic property would be superb with a couple more finishing touches. The staff are responsive and go the extra mile to ensure comfort.

The staff was very friendly but the room was terrible. I wasn’t expecting much for the price but on day 2 the cable went out on my TV and no one knew how to fix it. There was a cat screeching right outside my door all night my first night. On my 3rd day the electricity went out. There were cracks in the door that you could see light coming through. The room was old, the bed was hard and the bathroom was tiny. The pictures on Expedia were very deceiving. They must have been taken 20 years ago.

Small hotel, very spacious room, friendly staff. It is a well maintained and clean property, but it is very noisy at nights. It was a good fit for us looking to get involved in the live of the city,and to test the local food. There are plenty of restaurants around, it is 5 min walk to the beach.

This was a very cute little place, near the beach and shopping areas and Jasmin was very nice! Only drawback was the pool was small and not heated, and they were cutting down vines in the hot tub area so I couldn't go in. They had designated parking which was great.

The room was spacious, comfortable, and functional. The bed mattress was a bit too firm, but it was manageable. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was much what I anticipated for the price. I would stay there again, in that same room.

It is a boutique hotel so its not as grand as any other in the vicinity and there are not views of the beach front of PVR and no elevator so be prepared to carry your suitcase if you have a full size. The ground floor has only 3 rooms and the other 2 are big suites and the one I got was the single room with the door has a little gap which people can peek inside your door that's the only (cons) about the room I was staying, I do hope they change the door and on my 4th day because it is next to the swimming pool you can hear the people like what I have experienced on my 4th day this guy was playing loud music and laughing so hard and "he is by himself" I could hear everything the rooms are not "sound proof" so if you partied all night and want to have a sleep in the afternoon it might be difficult if you have people lounging around the pool area. The receptionist are all very friendly and accommodating but there is a language barrier, it be great if they get a staff who is fluent in english and spanish because there are a lot of foreigners during my stay.

Great location close to the beach and other walkable destinations. Good places to eat, felt very safe and most people were very friendly in the area. Great staff at the hotel keep up with everything. Cute overlook of the beach on the rooftop. We loved the jacuzzi but didn’t try the pool while there. Adults only so the decor is explicit just so you know! Boutique vibe was great

A great place to stay. The room was basically a small apartment. The staff is very friendly. Plan on taking short showers, there isn't much for hot water.
