Good value and location

Nice stay near the beach - in fact you could hear the waves - quite nice. A little confusing to find our room, but we figured it out.

The hotel is located in a convenient area, but our experience was disappointing. Shortly after checking in, we found a large cockroach in the room, which prompted us to request a room change. The first room also had a clogged wash basin. Unfortunately, the second room wasn’t much better—we noticed some insects there as well. As it was already quite late, we chose to stay, but it certainly didn’t feel like an ideal or comfortable environment. Additionally, the parking situation is tight, and maneuvering out of the property requires reversing, which can be a bit tricky.

Ocean View is Suspect

This hotel had a rating of excellent and it definitely is not. The hotel needs updated. The photo of the beach view is misleading. The ocean across the street is nasty and dark. I define would not swim there. Free parking was nice.
