Stephanie front desk attendant was excellent. Balcony, view and location were excellent. Beyond that the stay wasn’t terrible but it was absolutely subpar. Had to park on the curb due to limited parking spaces. Wasn’t worth the $10/day. Room smelled old and mildewed. Toilet, sink and tub ALL backed up. Maintenance had to be called.

Room was very nice and clean. Beds and pillows were comfy. Location was good. It is a few blocks from the beach, walk through a big park and parking lot to get there. Its a really nice beach area. You can rent umbrellas and chairs there. Nice access for handicapped visitors. There wasnt a beach shuttle while we were there. Parking fee is $10 a night. Only 6 covered spots. Pool area is nice. Good shops and restaurants nearby that are walkable. You have to drive to the lighthouse 5 miles away, but its worth it. Breakfast is ok, if you get there early enough. Would probably stay again if in the area.

My recent stay was deeply disappointing due to several unresolved issues. The room had a persistent musty smell of mold, which remained even after I turned on the air conditioning. The overall environment felt unpleasantly damp, and unfortunately, the bedding also carried a noticeable dampness. The bathroom was in clear need of renovation—it appeared outdated, and the bathtub drained extremely slowly, indicating a partial clog. Additionally, my check-in experience was worsened by the unfriendly and impatient attitude of the front desk lady. However, I was pleasantly surprised during check-out by another lady at the front desk, who was much warmer and more professional. The only positive aspect of my stay was the breakfast, which was quite good and offered some consolation amid the other inconveniences. I hope the management addresses these issues promptly to improve the experience for future guests.
