It was a great price with convenient access to the beach and parking. The staff was great and accommodating. The room itself was outdated and some rust was in the shower/sink.

Disliked: Amenities
This could be a very cool place if they put in a touch more effort. Smelled stale and the carpet felt perpetually wet. There was an inch of room between the bottom of the door and the floor - we put a towel down each night to prevent an unwelcome visitors. Staff doesn’t consistently remake beds. Overall it was FINE for the price during the season - but for the price, they could’ve tried a little bit harder. It’s got beds, walls, a bathroom and a couch. If that’s all you need, go for it - it’ll be all you’re expecting.
