The location of this property is great with many places to shop and eat within easy walking distance. The breakfast, which is included is very good. They provide bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards for free! And the staff is very very nice. The rooms are worn and tired but clean. The A/C is pretty old and can be noisy. For what you pay, this is not too bad.

We enjoyed our one week vacation stay. I wanted a bit more quiet stay and the nice receptionist put us in the room on the side opposite to the bar. Very close to the beach. Just a few minutes walk. Very nice stuff in the front. A decent breakfast and fresh coffee. We were happy with everything.

Beachy Bay Stay!

Perfect location at an affordable price point! This hotel had extremely friendly service, and offered an excellent free breakfast with an incredible staff! Walkable to the pier and many restaurants. However, I opted for door dash and the fire pit area to enjoy the amenities at the hotel. It was a perfect, relaxing stay!

The staff wore orange, you could tell that they worked as a team and took customer service seriously. Room was beautiful, nice and quiet. Great view. They let us rent bikes for free which was very convenient. Next to the beach and food was easy to get to. Highly recommend. We were all happy with our stay!
