The location away from the crowds was unmatched. The beach was pristine. The beds were comfortable and clean! The balcony was loud and wet due to the air conditioning unit. The elevator was questionable and extremely slow! All in all a good choice for people wanting an affordable room for vacation but if you require much more than a clean room you probably need to keep looking!

Lovely Stay

Great stay!! But first off, this isn’t a fancy, brand new hotel. It’s been around a minute and probably weathered a ton of storms, BUT it was clean and right on the beach. It has a kitchenette which was SUPER handy. I could listen to the ocean waves and also the pool was right outside my door. ALSO, just Steps to the beach. The girls in the office were super sweet and very helpful. The only complaint I have is the beds weren’t the most comfortable but I’ve seen worse. I would still and probably definitely will stay here again! We’ll be back for sure. Easy peesy for just me and my hubby.

Beautiful ocean view, that said I wouldn’t stay here again! We booked a big beautiful room for us to stay with our son & his girl. We got there to check in & nothing but problems. The man there said I didn’t book that suite, then he said there weren’t any left, come to find out this happened to six other people!!! No manager on duty he shakes his phone at me & says she’s not responding to him! What a joke!! Overpriced for place that’s run down & needs serious upgrades!! Bottom line if you can, stay somewhere else & if you can’t bring extra toilet paper because they only give you 1 roll!!
