Nice Little No-Frills Place Near the Beach
Priced a bit on the high side for a place without the "extra" amenities (restaurant, bar, exercise area, pool, etc.) of a bit chain hotel, but it's clean, relatively recently renovated, and close to a number of restaurants and the beach. Location, location, location may make up for the missing stuff. Right next door are Mexican and Thai restaurants. As you walk a couple blocks toward the beach you'll find more restaurant choices and a number of drinking spots. There's a Cold Stone Creamery, a Starbucks, a liquor store, and a convenience store, too. They have parking right at the hotel and across the alley in back, fairly reasonably priced at $7/night. There's a basic continental breakfast starting at 7 a.m., too. Traffic's a bit noisy on the Washington Street side, but it's not too bad.
