Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was nice and clean and gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. Bed was big and comfortable. Having the dog run was great! Our dog enjoyed running around after the long road trip. Breakfast was fine, with several choices, par for the course. The area surrounding the hotel is not that great, but we felt safe. The place was easy to find and the location was convenient for us.

That was our 5th stay over the past 15 years, and we still like this hotel. The room with the view and the balcony are great. The people are nice. It is a little old, the building may need a refresh, but overall we enjoyed it. The breakfast was good. We love being able to walk on the beach from the hotel.

Water is right next to some huge drainage pipe. They let some people in a van just camp out in it outside my room. didn't do anything about it when I brought it to their attention. Window to the bay let in a ton of light. Pool was locked up. Breakfast was meh. They kept texting me. Seem to care if you like it. Maybe I'm being a bit picky. Not much in terms of restaurants near by.

Not even with the bargain prices.
I requested a handicapped room. They had booked a regular room with a tub and no safety handrails. After a conversation they finally gave me the handicapped room. I guess they only had 2 rooms. My room smelled of dog. After complaining they supposedly tried to get rid of the dog odor. It lasted 1 night. If I didn’t need the handicapped room I would have asked for another. I bought a can of Lysol spray and sprayed every time I was in the room. Should at least keep one room that is not pet friendly. Also, we were there for a week and they changed towels twice and made the bed only once. Very poor housekeeping service. The hotel is very old and the appearance shows it. It even smells old. I will not be staying here again and won’t recommend it to my friends.
