Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was basic but clean. Traveled for leisure with family. Room and bathroom was nice. We stayed in one of the rooms with a kitchenette which was a nice bonus. Free parking on site. The pool was nice and clean and we saw it being cleaned regularly. The room had hard flooring which was nice seeing as we were near the water and accumulated a lot of sand. This was something I looked for when booking. The room included a drying rack for suits and towels. Because we booked a kitchenette, our room had three sinks in it. Your bathroom includes small bottles of shampoo and conditioner as well as a hair dryer. Each room has their own balcony with two chairs and a table. There are elevators. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Ice machine and a few on site vending machines. Hotel is located on the ocean side of the street and located walking distant to several restaurants. Additionally, 35th street leads directly to public beach access. We would definitely stay here again and you cannot beat the price.
