Our balcony faced the beach and ocean, with part of view a restaurant across the way. There is a nice pool. We are seniors so no night club for us, and we were there mid-week. This hotel has been around a long time. The room is not fancy, just the basics, but the amenities the hotel offers make it more reasonably priced than other hotels in the area. Staff was helpful. Would be nice to have a microwave/fridge. Restaurants nearby served good food, we ate at Italian restaurant across the way, delicious.

Decent enough

Decent hotel. The staff was friendly. The location was the best aspect. It’s right next to the beach. The worst aspect was the pillows. They were not comfortable at all.

Met my college roommate and we had a wonderful stay. Rooms are dated, as other reviewers stated, but very clean and the staff was amazing - super friendly and helpful. Bonus that we found free parking in the lot and there was a continental breakfast buffet included. Great location, too! We’ll definitely return!!!
