The hotel was really fun and the staff were all kind and super helpful. The room and bathroom were nice the only issue was the bathroom door was broken off the hinge. Really nice to be right on the beach

Hostel stay

My friends and I stayed in a room with a queen bed and a single bed with a shared bathroom. The room was great! However, there were aunts EVERYWHERE on the wall next to the single bed. I was so thrown off by them and they were in the sheets as well.
Madeline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I had a great time and I would go back.

I almost didn’t stay at Room2Board— they are VERY Instagram-friendly, and I am not exactly the IG demographic. That said, I am glad I didn’t get scared off! Room2Board was clean and friendly, and they were strict about quiet hours starting at 11 pm, so no worries about pounding music all night. My only two comments are SUPER minor: it would be great if they provided hooks in the rooms to hang up wet/damp clothes, especially since they don’t want you to hang clothes out on the balconies, and the free coffee doesn’t actually start at 5 am like the signs in the room say- it starts at 7 am.
