Location is superior; quick beach access. The room was clean but spartan. Outside of the building was retro; the inside was economy. Don’t expect a hot shower- lukewarm was the best I could get; that was disappointing. Property was clean and safe. Excellent neighborhood.

The property served its purpose. Unfortunately checkin starting at 3pm does not guarantee the room will be ready. We did not get our room until around 5:30pm after waiting 1.5 hours. I would recommend blackout curtains because the outdoor lights are shining right into the room, resulting in disturbed sleep.
