Clean, staff is super cool and nice. It’s definitely family friendly. Parking can be tight but it’s all good. I love staying there because the beach is literally a blink away and Pomeroy is around the corner easy to walk, eat, shop and drink you’re ass to the hotel.

The front desk people were super friendly. The location is great, the rooms were clean. There are no hair dryers (not sure if that was written online) but thankfully it was so nice out, i had my hair up or in a cap. It's a great price for what you get.
