Overall a nice place to stay. The inside was very clean but the flooring could be replaced. We heard the place has been purchased and they are rebranding so hopefully they will renovate the rooms as well. Friendly staff and conveniently located to shops, dining and the beach. The town closes down early.

Great location right at the beach, with spacious suite room, clean and comfortable king size bed. Friendly staff and very helpful. However the pull out sofa bed was very sagged, not good for the back that my son was more comfortable sleeping on the sofa.

If it weren’t for the rusty swings outside the hotel making a high pitch creak (non stop - when people not swinging, the wind blew them and they creaked/ground/squeaked) I would have rated this five stars.
