I loved our view, although it was super foggy, but we still enjoyed. Offered free breakfast of a variety. I really loved that the beach was a short walking distance. Near a shopping center, liquor store, ice cream, coffee place and more. Quiet and we felt safe. They had a wine opener at the front desk which was a PLUS.

Although the rooms were decent, the property was old, not kept up well, and yucky. Vending machines were broken for 2 weeks while we stayed there twice. Elevator was scary. The lobby is not welcoming and almost like it’s a part of the garage. The pool was mid. The breakfast was fine. But not terrible if you have a small budget. It worked for what we needed.
