The room was very good, my only thing that I didn’t like was the fact that the air conditioner was low on the floor and blue directly onto the one bed.

Loved staying here! It's an older hotel, but has been kept up quite well. Lovely room, and you can't beat the ocean view from those balcony rocking chairs. Also enjoyed the music from the bar below.

Would have liked the TV to be a little more updated. Also, we really couldn’t utilize the bar at night because there was an event going on otherwise everything was great.

The location was perfect, the staff was great, it was nice to have a restaurant actually too in the hotel. We were there in October and the pool was 80°. The only odd thing was there’s no screens on the window and the sink for the bathroom is in the room and not where the shower and toilet are. I also wish there was a full length mirror. Other than that for the price, it was great.

Room was clean, staff was helpful and very friendly. The view of the beach was unobstructed from the balcony and the room. Parking was easily acceptable and safe.
