Beatnik is a fabulous concept and well-kept property overall. The design of everything is very stylish and clean. The pool is a nice view from the screened in porch to save bug attacks. Our accommodations were great, plenty of towels, clean, and they also provided eye masks and ear plugs. This seemed like a sweet addition until the first night.
Above the gorgeous velvet curtains is a big open space that allows the light across the street to BRIGHTLY shine into the room all night (hence the eye mask). On top of that, there is a train that passes, loud vehicle muffler noises from the bridge, and finally, every conversation (pretty much word for word) and every step taken in the next room. The ear plugs are for all of this I guess, but even a sound machine didn't cover them.
In my opinion, for a couples getaway, I would choose not to stay here for two main reasons: the awful sleep and the paper thin walls. These were deal-breakers for what should've been a quiet, restful getaway. read more
