Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I absolutely loved the newly renovated room and the location is to die for. I started having daydreams of wanting to live there because I loved the vibe and location a lot. The only unpleasant thing was that the doors seem to have to be forced/slammed in to the door frame in order to be shut and locked properly. As someone who has a pet peeve for slamming doors, this irked me and triggered my emotional response to thinking others are angry around me but quickly reminding myself that this was the nature of the whole building got me out of that emotional state pretty quickly. I definitely want to come back to stay again some day to enjoy it more because there were several things I wanted to do but didn’t get to because of prioritizing errands/needs over leisure/recreation. Overall I am thankful for the opportunity to even stumble across the area and experience it! I would definitley recommend, I almost wanted to forgo reviewing to gatekeep it from the public but the staff was also very friendly and kind that I want to make sure they have steady business for years to come.

I love this place. It’s clean and comfortable. And the staff are friendly and inviting. They even give you a s’mores care package so you can build a bonfire on the beach. I thought that was the cherry on top.

The property was exactly as advertised. No frills and clean, with all the basic amenities. The staff was kind and attentive and made the stay enjoyable for me and my dog.. With only a 5 minute walk to an epic beach, I will stay here again when I am in the area. Very satisfied.
