One of the nicer hotels on the beach. Rooms look renovated and updated. Friendly staff and clean rooms. Overall a nice place to stay. If I had to nitpick, my one suggestion would be to place families with children on the bottom floor as opposed to the top so those people who want to sleep in a little later aren’t woken up early in the morning by children slamming doors and running up and down the hallways upstairs

Great Family Vacation Spot

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. This is the perfect spot for a quiet family vacation. The grounds were kept very clean and tidy. We stayed on the second floor and had a clear view of the ocean. Very close to the downtown area. I would be happy to stay here again.

Very convenient to the beach! Which was especially helpful when traveling with an elder. Bathrooms are very tight, and kitchenette is limited (microwave only). AC worked well. Room very clean (broom and dust pan also available to sweep up sand during stay) Our room was way back in a corner - without a spot to sit in chair and look out at ocean in common areas. Would have been nice to understand if that was definition of no view - I thought that meant just in the room.

Every person working at the property was kind and efficient. The room, a "king with ocean view, first or second floor" was small but adequate. The bathroom was tiny but adequate. My room was on the second floor, and the view was good. If it had been on the first floor, the view would not have been good. The location is excellent, and beach access could not have been better. I would definitely book this experience again.

Highly Recommended!

This is our 2nd annual family trip to this hotel. It's right on the beach! The staff is so friendly and check in and check out is super fast and easy. The rooms are clean, we even had a little "kitchen" area with a table and chairs, mini fridge and microwave in a cabinet with storage to put your snacks in. My grandson especially enjoyed the pool. Highly recommended!
