Great!

Had a great time at the location. The common areas are always kept clean. The staff are friendly. The only issue is that the appliances look a little worn and the bathroom is small. I love that there was free parking the no pet fees. The dogs had a great time at the beach. Would stay here again if in the area.

Property is okay. Staff were good and respectful. The place is noisy. We could hear people talking outside and right from the room next door. We felt that the place is unsafe especially night time where drunk people walk around the property. We thought the room is not worth the quoted price as the place does not have a swimming pool, no microwave, and the room is not that big.

Great view of ocean, room was well accommodated, bed was super comfortable. Only downside, our room was on the side where a local lives, partying all hours, possible illegal transactions going on, also airport close by and planes all day and night.

Hotel was nice right by the beach and many stores around to walk to. Affordable. The only issue was no hot water in the shower and you can hear your neighbors. But other than that it was a great hotel! I would stay here again :)

It’s decent.

It wasn’t the cleanest but smelled so strongly of cleaning products in the room. Like so strong. Super accessible to so many things though. Loved being off the beach. It was sort of loud but that was to be expected and I didn’t mind. Not the safest, someone was murdered in the alley next to the hotel the night I was there… but other than that!? Decent for a beach hotel.

Could be better.

I hate to be one to leave a bad review. But, the hotel was not up to date, very small rooms, always loud at night, not as clean as it could be, and hot water took forever to warm (about 20 mins) not fun when you have kids. Location was perfect. Walking distance to great restaurants. Overall wouldn't recommend stay.

This was a small room but everything was nice. Being right at the beach was really nice. I think the only downside was no microwave to re-heat all the delicious food we got but couldn't eat all at once. I would definitely come again.
