The rooms are large and the beds comfortable. It was pretty basic, but that was okay for what we needed. No laundry or food on site, but close by. You can walk to one beach viewpoint

The front desk staff is very friendly. However the hotel is kind of outdated. There is no AC but portable fan. I was told there is free WIFI but it does not work for me. The location is very good to my destination.

Staff at front desk were very friendly. Appreciate the early check in. My family loved that the walk to the beach was less than 10mins. No AC, but they did provide a standing fan. Breakfast was not that great. All grab and go.

We had our 6mo old baby and 11yr old dog with us and everyone was comfortable and taken care of. They even left a couple treats for our fur babe 🙂 Staff is friendly and will grab any extras you may need. We enjoyed our time here!
