I had a great time, i stayed 2 days. The staff was friendly and let me know if i needed anything to let them know. My room was clean and had a cozy feeling. It is right on the strip, which was in walking distance to the beach, the piers, and all the food and shopping i loved it. Thanks for everything.

The location was a 5 star. It was right downtown on the Main Street. All the rooms are on the second floor with no elevator. The bathroom was clean but tiny. The bed was very soft. I woke up with a backache. There was two upholstered chairs in our room. They were dirty and springs were shot. There is no designated parking but we found parking on street right in front of hotel.
