Great value. The room was just fine considering we only use hotels to sleep when we are on vacation. The beach down the street allows fires. We had one on our last night and it was great.

Parking was ok if you had a compact vehicle,the spaces were a little narrow. Some of the staff was friendly. The rooms were good size if you are just going to sleep and be out all day. We had a nice mini fridge and microwave which worked great. We had a sink that dripped water all day. The restroom was a good size. The AC worked perfect. Over all it met our needs.
