A converted circa-1940 apartment complex, now covered tastefully in ivy, offers sunny, compact rooms and studios with kitchenette, and vintage surf-rocker decor. It's walking distance to the Promenade and Main St, and the beach is just out the back, across the street. For a bit more quiet, request a room facing away from Ocean Ave.
In case you're wondering, this is not the Hotel California from the Eagles' song. That one was, as the lyrics say, 'on a dark desert highway'.
Parking is $36 per night.
