It was just what it was supposed to be: Near ocean and beach, pool with a limited bar, close to town. What I was not so happy with was for the price, they could update their towels. They were horrible, scratchy. The breakfast, although it was nice to have it, they offer almost all carbs, hardly any protein or fruit. It could go a little later in the morning also.

This property is old and tired! We heard our neighbors clearly. We don't feel like we got $300/night value for what we paid. The bed was terribly uncomfortable, and the furniture was well used! Amenities were bare bones. Free breakfast was barely edible. Just everything was minimal and below today's standards. Very disappointing!

The property had all of the basic necessities I needed for a fun beach weekend! I had no problem with my parking spaces. The rooms were well appointed with everything I needed. The property is clean and the area is safe. Quite little niche tucked away off the main strip. It felt very private on this beach. Walkable to all the fun and restaurants!
