This place is older but updated enough and it is always exceptionally clean. They are always pleasant and so helpful. Their rates are reasonable and you are as close to the beach as you can get without being on the beach. Great value for the $$

I really wanted to like the property, but because the ceiling/floors are so thin, I literally got no sleep due to the people in the room above mine being so loud. Now, neither the way the built the property, nor how loud the other customers are, is not under the control of the current property manager, so nothing really could be done, but getting no sleep is frustrating.

This was my second time staying at this hotel. The location is central to pretty much everything, and if you want to catch the bus it’s super close. It’s not super fancy but you’re not going to the beach to stay in the hotel room. The bed is comfy but I would recommend bringing your own pillow and blanket.
