Great price for a hotel room that close to the beach. Awesome view and beautiful sun rises on the ocean in the mornings. Friendly and helpful staff. Everyone is going to have a different opinion and there are many people that just like to complain about anything but its based on your experience. I had my 2 little girls and we had a great time!

The hotel was good for the price. We just needed to stay for one night before a cruise. The night clerk who checked us in was courteous and helpful. They have some microwave food, ice cream, etc in the lobby. They also have toiletries if you forgot anything, which was great because we forgot toothpaste. What’s hard is the rooms were not nice at all. There were cracks in the walls, face plates and stains on the chairs and bed throw. The sheets were clean, However. Everything is just old and really not upgraded. So, as I said, worth the price. I would even lay a little more if it would help them upgrade/update the place.

Overall our room was clean and serviceable, even though the building was clearly old and needs updating. However, the bed were rock hard and very uncomfortable. Also, there was not hot water for the shower. We will not return due to these two things. The proximity to the beach was great, especially for the price.
