This location felt like home on our 50 hour roadtrip. I loved the "text if you need anything" feature as we had forgotten a bottle opener and someone happily brought one to our room.

Staff did really well. However it is an older property, with less amenities. I would like to see that reflected in the room rate.

Lovely hotel. The location is excellent and right on the beach, it is walking distance to the pier, restaurants, etc. We stayed in the main building. Staff was very friendly at check in, and they lend you beach chairs and towels and buckets to take to the beach. It is not a ‘resort’ so there is no pool or anything, only a front patio area-which is nice and comfortable with great views- and there is a small cafe offering some food and drink options. We stayed in the main building and were comfortable. We will likely be back soon!
