We stayed here last minute as we got into town a day early and they had availability for one night. The property is dated but was clean and the front desk attendant was great. It was right on the main drag and a convenient walk to restaurants and shopping.

We have stayed here many times & it’s great for us. Great location. Mattress a bit old but still comfortable. Good TV channels. We never use the pool or hot tub because its alway full & very small but that’s ok. We enjoy the beach. Great customer service.

Met Expectations

Room and amenities were a little underwhelming. Pool area is small. Staff was very friendly and rates were lower than other hotels within surrounding area. Overall, I’d stay again if only planning on using the room to sleep in. Not much else to do within hotel itself.

It's an average place to stay. Nothing horrible and nothing exceptional. Worth the price. Front office staff were really friendly. I was a little spooked by some of the bad reviews but I didn't have that experience.
