Hard to find the attendant when we arrived. Once she got there she was helpful. Parking was challenging because it was roped off. She suggested we park across the busy road but then opened up the roped off area.

The room was old, paint coming off the walls. Noisy exhaust fan in the washroom. Curtains did not close to make the room dark, there was too much light inside the room at night. Breakfast options did not have hot items.

The biggest problem was that there is a 25' to 30' shrub and curb divider between the rooms and our cars with no access walks to either the rooms or the cars. I have a neuropathy handicap that prevented me from safe and convenient access. Also, no safety bars in the shower.

The hotel is a short drive from downtown and various beaches. The street in front is busy, but our second-floor room was quiet. The room was large and included a desk, an easy chair, and a long counter. The lobby and breakfast room are attractive. The continental breakfast included a relatively wide range of options.
