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.

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.
