Property is on the beach and great views. Not a 5 star property but very adequate for our 1 night stay. Full kitchen is great if staying longer.

My stay was wonderful, everything was great but the building is an older building, but as far as the amenities and stuff, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to travel on a budget. I would come back again to stay again, very clean, and the staff was very helpful.

The staff was nice & check-in was a breeze. The room was clean & spacious. Parking is a little questionable. The lot is too small, so recommend parking across the street. Would definitely stay again

Horrible experience, shower overflowing and kitchen faucet came apart and they were jackhammering repeatedly, we left 2 days early and we feel we were ripped off and should be entitled to compensation!!

The lock on the door to my room was damaged. The striker plate is very loose so the deadbolt wouldn’t work. It looks like the door had been forced open at one time
