The reviews from people saying this place was good, are lying. It's old. It hasn't had updates in years, the pillows are stained and flat, the TV's are straight out of the 90s, and "you get what you pay for" was the big lesson I learned this trip. There are no benefits of this hotel.

The location of it was perfect! Only 3/4 blocks away from the beach walking distance. They also offered things for the beach as well which is a plus! Our room was clean and luckily we were able to get early check in as well so that was a plus! I’d stay here again for the location and price! Definitely recommend :)

The rooms were a bit dated. They were updating some but we stayed in an older one and it needed some work. Could use breakfast as there are not a ton of affordable options in the immediate area. If traveling with a family this area gets expensive quick. The area is awesome. Walk or quick drive to some awesome places. I will for sure return to this hotel.
