Everything was perfect especially being able to walk 3 minutes to the beach. Everything is in walking distance , stores , restaurants, etc. We were able to rent bikes free of charge and ride around the beach and explore more . The only issue for me was the WiFi, I wasn’t able to connect it to my PS5. That’s not really a big issue tho. I do wish there was a better toilet that flushes better.

For an overnight “I need to crash somewhere” stay, it works. For a vacation, it does not. The advertising and reviews are very misleading and this causes me to wonder who’s actually leaving these reviews. This is NOT a hotel. It is a motel. So let’s start there. It is at a centralized location and within walking distance to bars, restaurants, and the water. The room itself was clean but really, really old. It also seems to attract shady individuals so you don’t feel completely safe. The beds are old and one had a big dip in it like the spring is worn out. You can tell the owner slapped some paint and new hardware down and called it remodeled. I wouldn’t stay here again.
