Dirty and uncomfortable

Rooms face a patio of people so no privacy. Its crazy loud outside all day long. Beds felt like sleeping on the floor, so uncomfortable. Room was dirty and outdated. We checked out aftwr 1 night and had to get a different hotel room. Would not recommend

Really disappointed in the bed sizes. Reservation said 2 queens, and they were definitely only full size beds. Love this location but even with a small family of 3, we weren’t able to get good sleep…kinda the main purpose of a hotel.

The hotel was right on the beach. The tile floors made easy clean-up from sand. The beds were comfortable enough but luckily we brought our own pillows for extra. We really enjoyed our stay for a beach trip.
