In a good location but the property is very old and in need of serious repairs and updating. Seems more like a place collage kids would hangout at on spring break.

The Manager, Celeste, was exceptional! She took our many requests, and went above and beyond to help us. She was always kind, polite, and extra nice to the kids, even giving them little notebooks and pens.

Breakfast was skimpy. There is no pool. There is a hot tub, but guests were in there drinking bottled alcohol, and talking nonsense to my grandchildren. When we checked out, nobody was at the front desk. We left the keys, and still haven’t been emailed an invoice

Our room had a great view of the ocean, walking distance to the beach. Internet didn’t work though so if you’re planning to go online you’ll need to use your phone’s hotspot. Staff couldn’t help either. I gave 4 stars because of the internet, you need to be under 5 feet tall to comfortably use the shower, and the plug in scent was too strong and we had to place it outside. At least it wasn’t a floral scent so it wasn’t bad once we placed it outside the room for our stay. Overall a good experience, the staff was friendly and as helpful as they could be. Thank you for a good experience. :-)
