Room was average, overpriced for what it was by the time pet fees, hotel fees, taxes, etc. were added in. All was clean except for the floor which felt sandy so had not been swept/mopped.

Was perfect overnight stay for us with a dog. Although we could not spend time in the common outdoor lounge/picnic area, it was very nice. Bed was comfortable. There was even a small refrigerator and microwave that was convenient. The only small issue I had was with some plumbing smell from the bathroom, it was minor issue but would be nice if it is fixed.

If you need a clean affordable place to stay, this is it. Walking to beach area, dining and feels safe. There is no fancy stuff here. A/C was a bit noisy but we lived with it. 1 and a half rolls of toilet paper was barely enough for a one night stay, bathrooms were clean. I'll be back for a quick stay.
