The hotel wasn't bad overall. It's definitely an older property and had a bit of a musty smell, but the location makes up for a lot. It's right on the beach with easy beach access, convenient parking, and it's pet-friendly, which was a big plus for us. The pool was nice and clean, and we enjoyed spending time there. If you're looking for a beachfront stay and don't mind an older hotel, this is a decent option.

We were there for one night. Our room had direct access to the beach which was nice. We didn't use the fire pit or pool Staff was pleasant. No issues with parking. We were able to walk to some restaurants. Only issue was the bathroom. It was clean but had issues with shower curtain rod staying up and slow sink drain. Just as we were leaving a staff member was going to room to fix issues.

The kiosk check-in was a breeze and the room was clean and comfortable. Its an older hotel so the shower is a bit small but manageable. Nothing fancy but had everything you need a stay at the beach. The location is perfect! Would stay again.

The room was clean and had a comfortable bed. It could definitely use a remodel. The beach is not visible from the rooms. You have to go up and out onto the beach access which is easy enough.

Old motel with very tight parking. Staff was friendly! Room was old but very clean! AC unit smelled like a wet dog when it went on but eventually the odor disappeared. Walked up a few stairs for a very nice view of the beach! For an overnight stay it was cheap and the king size bed was comfortable! It was a perfect stop for the night since it was quiet!
