For the price and location this hotel was acceptable.... The beds were nice and firm, the linens and towels were laundered well, and the cleaning crew knew their jobs. On the downside there were ants about (not a huge run but....), a light fixture didn't work, and the caulking, trim, etc was definitely neglected.

I truly am shocked this place was rated so high. The place was ok at best but our room had no block lock so my young children could open the door without anything to stop them. The fan in the bathroom didn’t work and there was no plug to be able to give the kids a bath. The place was definitely on the older side and the front office was locked in the morning. Another person staying there at the same time complained that they had no hot water and some of their room lights didn’t work.

Disappointed
We love this spot because of walking distance to the beach, affordable cost and cleanliness. Nothing fancy, but a good spot to rest one’s head after a beach day. Sadly, this time our room had an aunt infestation. Plus, they stuck us in an ADA room where the water from the shower gets everywhere. We will stay again but will be careful what room we let them give us.

Overall a fine stay- very organized staff, kind, and clean. The room was really noisy- every footstep and toilet flush could be heard from the room above. Also a surprising amount of road noise. Great location- close to beach and downtown. Nothing cute or cozy about the place.

Good Location
Great location walking distance to the beach. Staff was friendly when I arrived and check in was super easy. The bathroom had a towel with a hole in it left on the side of the tub. There was a wad of hair on it. An oversight from cleaning, but a bit gross. The bed was very uncomfortable.
