Great location
Location is awesome. It is with a short stroll to the beach. Staff was cordial. Bathroom was dated. Tub showed rust stains. Worst part was the king size bed. Bed felt horrible. Matress has outlived its lifespan a few years ago.

We like the location of the property. Being able to have full beach view is very important to us, at a reasonable price. While the housekeeping was a bit lacking, the staff was very helpful and immediately addressed areas that were not as they should be. We will stay there again and I will recommend it to others.

Quick and easy check in, plenty of parking and very friendly staff. Even though the property is older , it was very clean and bed/ pillows were comfortable. Nice beachfront property with good heavy continental breakfast included. Would definitely stay again !

Beach view is awesome but hotel needs some work. The bathrooms are in need of a good scrubbing and new caulking. The door to our room had clearly had an attempted break in with signs of its attempt shown in the cracked vaneer around the lock.

Room was OK, it is an older property that shows its age. Room has been renovated but still has that older property smell to it. OK for a one night stay but not for an extended beach holiday.
