Convenient property. Staff was great. Arrived early, and accomodated us while we waited for our room/check in time. Super quick and convenient. Room was clean and in great shape. The sliding door lock for room 26 could use an update( a bit finicky to get in) otherwise would return

The hotel is clean, conveniently located and the staff is friendly and helpful. I didn't like that they charge for parking if you want to stay at the beach after check out.

This hotel is right on the beach which is very nice and the staff was super nice but the reviews about the bedding should be paid attention to… our sheets seemed like they had been washed but there were stains on them, stains all over the box frame. I often stay at hotels and sleep well, I don’t know how they found bedding of such a low quality that it was actually uncomfortable.

Excellent location. Great parking situation. Friendly and helpful staff. To be fair I came on a gloomy Thursday. On a sunny hot Saturday the parking situation maybe be a little bit different.

Great beach front property, literally within steps on the beach. Staff was amazing and very attentive to needs and concerns. Local is great as its on the beach and within walking distance of food, shops, and bar. Parking is easy and very accessible. This was my first time staying and I will definitely be staying again.
