This place has the greatest staff. Checking in is always so easy and friendly. The location is perfect. It’s walking distance to the beach and many restaurants, there’s no need to drive anywhere once you get there. This place is like a living experience, not like a hotel experience. I enjoy every stay all the time. I have stayed at practically all the other hotels around and I found this to be my go to place all the time from now on.

Hotel is old and in need of a major renovation. No A\C, so wasn’t comfortable during an unexpected heat wave in March. Limited parking. Staff at check in were very accommodating. Location is excellent, close to beach and shops/restaurants.
