Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Pros: Reasonable prices, good location close to the beach, friendly small town. There was only the guy at the front desk helping customers. He was kind and tried his best to solve issues. Cons: Elevator stopped working one time and we almost got stuck inside. Also, was denied a receipt at checkout. Guy said they don’t give receipts for online bookings even though I had to leave 100 dollars deposit. Not good!!

Well first off I’ve never been threatened to be charged extra for a late check out. They charged an extra $25 for a 12 o’clock check out and if you stay later will charge for another day. They also have no breakfast or any amenities worth mentioning. We will not be returning here.

This is a perfectly nice, clean hotel. The staff is nice and helpful. The only reason I did not score this hotel higher, was due to the amenities. Sometimes its nice to have the convenience of things at your hotel.

Place is ok. Just a lot of noise all night. It’s an older place that’s been modernized, so it doesn’t have concrete floors - which can make the noise from the neighbors upstairs an issue. Faucet was also extremely noisy. Hotel next door is under construction , so more noise. Water pressure in the shower was low. Yellow stain on the sheet above the mattress (but below the main sheet you sleep on. Mattress was comfortable, location was OK. Front desk reception and checkout was excellent. Plenty of parking.
