It was a very convenient, central location. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. Yes, it was a wee bit dated, but that just added to the character. The staff members were friendly and helpful. Keeping in mind this is not 4-star hotel, it certainly met all of my needs and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. And it is very reasonably priced! ##### Sharon Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danika Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay! ##### Danika Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Aug 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had an amazing trip because of how awesome this location was.

Clean, pleasant, and entirely convenient for our purposes. Our room had a kitchen as well, which would be really handy if you were looking to save money on vacation (there’s a grocery store just down the street). ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Oct 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 7 points, but Danny was the best thing about the hitching post. Very friendly and welcoming. And it smelled good in the office. He remembered us. We like the activism center next door. There was a band there which we were invited to. We can easily access the bus back to 17 and to the beach. We love grocery outlet, the microwave and the fridge. Checking in is so simple, and I was so exhausted. The bed was huge and comfy. My only complaint was too much bleach on the sheets. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Layla Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I had a great time with a couple friends here in late March and would highly recommend it!
