Room was clean, bed was nice but there was a strange odor in the room. The in room coffee pot still had foul smelling water in it so I went elsewhere to obtain coffee. The shower head needed cleaning to improve the flow. Otherwise staff was ver helpful and welcoming. The decor is very appropriate and location is supurb.

This a scam from Expedia, the pictures are fake, there’s no such thing as they said. The location is almost 3 blocks away from the beach. But Expedia sells it like the hotel in in the beach area. Be careful booking with Expedia. The manager said, Expedia sells pictures that the hotel located in the beach but it’s not true. The condition of the hotel is old and part I’m the room are broken. So no recommendations to this place. Don’t believe what Expedia is posting on the pictures because it’s not true. It’s a scam.
