Room was clean and well appointed. Much of the furniture was very new. Comfortable bed. Nice view from the window. Short walk over to beach. Enjoyed watching the sunset from the balcony. Would stay again.

It was nice as far as the location and the beach being in such close proximity. But I guess that’s all you’re paying for when you stay here cause the room was not very clean I got a suite with a kitchen and all but the kitchen floor was sticky and a lot of the surfaces were sticky. There was hair all over the room. The breakfast room was very small and each morning it’s filled to capacity. There was a lot of structural damage to the room. And the front desk staff specifically were all over the place I worked front desk at a hotel for many years and I was appalled at how I was handled they were arguing with one another In front of guests and they were very impatient. My family and I were determined to have a good vacation so thank goodness I didn’t base my trip solely on my experience at this hotel or else we would’ve had an awful time but you get what you pay for and this was all we could afford. The pool was a great addition and it was very nice.

Loved our stay! The perfect place to take our granddaughters for a mini vacation. Only issue really was going for the breakfast. One of the ladies there was rude. We saw her for the first two mornings and on the third decided we didn’t want another interaction with her so didn’t go. Other than that it was reasonably priced and right on the beach

Hidden gem

This place is really a hidden gem… It is super quiet and secluded, which I really like… The breezeway leads directly to the pool which leads directly to oceanfront you can’t ask for much more than that… And the staff was awesome. Every single person we encountered was great

Not impressive from the street but nice sized rooms. We had a kitchenette that was sufficient….but no cups, plates, etc. I understand why, but that would have been nice. Other than that, no carpets which is perfect because no breeding bacteria. Dog friendly. We are staying again on our way home

I didn’t have the best experience.

Staff wasn’t the friendliest, didn’t have the type of room I reserved available, so they downgraded my room with nothing besides a shrug. The Main Street is loud and you hear cars and motorcycles racing by all night.
