Nice hotel right on main Hwy 31. Clean and comfortable. Easy check in. Only complaint is that wireless was very poor. Internet service was too slow for any video content. TV connection was also slow.

The room was clean and comfortable. It looks just as described. Staff friendly. I think it was very affordable and close to everything we wanted to see. It is a real gem. My only issue was the beach access- we only seen a private entrance to it but we didn’t ask if we were allowed to use it. I would definitely stay again!

There is no place close to the shower to hang your towel while you shower. The towel bar is all the way across the room and not easily accessible when you come out of the shower. The shower is also very small. To shower you have to turn on the water to get wet, then turn the water off to later up then turn the water back on to rinse off.
