Definitely outdated. If you can get past the older rooms, and just use it as a place to sleep, you’ll be fine.

Our stay was great. The location was perfect everything walkable the only thing is the tv didn’t work well maybe the clicker batteries needed to be changed also the air conditioning was ok but filter cleaning caused it to not work correctly.. but it was quaint and cozy otherwise. I would recommend this place Southwinds Hotel for a quick getaway for a long weekend stay..

Not as expected
Room was nothing like photo shown. Very very, very outdated with no room in bath to even balance a curling iron by the only mirror. Extremely small with bed taking up most of space. Window a/c loud and lacking. Staff very friendly, good location but room not as advertised. If you are given room 15-ask for another room!

All of the staff was amazingly friendly and supportive. There wasn't anything fancy about Southwinds but it was comfortable, clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was excellent - near a beach, great bars and restaurants. I would stay there again.
