26.08.23Brown Dot Hotels is one of my favorite franchises. I have stayed in a BD in several different cities, and they are always clean, smart, and well worth the money, which is why I was surprised and disappointed with this hotel. It feels more like a pension or camper lodge. It's within walking distance of the ocean, and there's a small area where people swim. The real beach is farther up the road. Each room has its own garage below, and it's a little confusing getting into the room. The room itself was clean and spacious with a good bed. The bathtub is in the middle of the room and at first seems like it's going to be great, but it was wide but short and shallow, so not very comfortable, although the water is plentiful. I uncharacteristically chose a "Run of House Event Room", which means it was cheaper because the management chose the room. The other rooms may be better, but my room was very basic. The weather was bad, so I spent all 2 1/2 days in the room. It's not a terrible place, but not very cheery for a summer getaway.
