My stay has been nothing short but excellent. It’s conveniently located near the beach within a walkable distance to restaurants and shops. Housekeeping is very helpful. It’s an affordable and comfortable stay. My only complaint would be the breakfast which isn’t much of a breakfast. They offer muffins and coffee. Otherwise, I recommend.

Great price for the area. Beds were small, but comfortable. For an older facility it was in decent shape, however the floor was a little slimy due to humidity and no bathroom vent. Breakfast was a snack at best.

Front desk guy was not friendly- first room key did not work- I asked for a room with a view and got a first story non- view room but was too tired to go back to office to request different room again.
