Great value

Great location. Easy check in and friendly staff. Updated paint and decor with a comfy bed. Convenient parking. Cute lounging area. Don't try to check-in too early or you will be charged an additional $30. My only complaint is the carpet. It makes this hotel feel a bit drab and dingy. However it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't stay again. Had a great stay.

Room was the right size for ourselves and dog. Convenient area for the dog to relieve himself. Breakfast was convenient and well stocked with a variety of foods. Elevator was out of order which made it very inconvenient for our luggage and doggie cage and essentials. Many trips using the stairs.

Clean, quiet, comfortable. Really nice guy at check in. I loved the view from my room. It’s also nice that there was a little area outside for smokers. The sun deck is a great place to relax.

Room had smoke when I turned on heater

It was good. The only issue I had was when I turned on the heater it started smoking in are room. It didn't smell like smoke but the attendant said it was just a dirty air filter.

My personal experience staying at La Serena Inn was wonderful. The place was nice & clean. The staffs were all friendly and so welcoming. The location is nearby so many restuarants such a Giovanni and a few mins away from the beach. I tried tacos de mexico down the street and that was a disappointment so I highly recommend dont go there. The hotel have a light breakfast option available such as waffles, boil eggs, toast, danishes, coffee, bananas, oranges, I wish they have sausage links though. I will stay here again.

There was only one person on staff when I arrived at 6pm. There was a "back in one hour" sign" hanging on the lobby door. I hate to wait for over an hour to check in. Good breakfast buffet though.
