Top The Funk Zone Hotel Reviews

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. Rooms were clean, but showing a little age (bathroom door was hard to shut, some sligtly rusted fixtures)."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"Well, when we reached in the night, we were expecting to see the ocean as the name says but did not. However, next morning we noticed in fact it is very close to the Ocean. In terms of the facility it is clean, decently maintained. Amenities are reasonable and serves the purpose. The best part we liked at this facility is the Breakfast. Even though it says continental breakfast, they had more than just bagels, toast and muffins. We had a full breakfast, that's the highlight. Overall its a good place."
