The benefit to this location is the beach access. All the rest of the details are very similar to other HI Express locations. This hotel is an older but remodeled hotel. Elevators are SLOW. Be prepared to take a while. One was out of order.

Our room and stay felt like a great value. The room was updated, spacious, and comfortable. Beds and pillows comfy, shower and bathroom very clean, and the cabinet/counter/kitchen space was a nice surprise. You could probably stay here several days and not feel crowded and have all you need. Our room, 401, had a balcony and beach view which was a nice surprise! The parking was great (covered). What’s most important to me in hotels of this really affordable price range is cleanliness, then safety and comfort. This hit all of those!
