Place was great! Cozy and homey, loved the old fashioned keys to get into the room. Layout of the room was very convenient and the room amenities were right on point for a short stay.

Unique beach local favorite. Wonderfully delicious restaurant on the first floor has great service and delicious fresh options. Front Desk could be friendlier.

It would be better if the restaurant offered COLD coffee. I guess its just my opinion cause the days I stayed the weather was 77F so it was good for coffee.

Room wasn’t very modern/ updated but that is not a drawback for me personally. It was clean and well maintained with good AC. You can’t beat the proximity to the beach. Parking can be limited because of the restaurant but they do their best. Will definitely stay again.

Best place going! Clean and close to the beach. Wish they had more beach loungers and umbrellas. They should tell visitors about reserving them ahead of time or as you check in.

The property is in a great location. Unfortunately our room smelled really bad; like raw sewage or an old dirty dish rag. We wondered if they were having plumbing issues.

Great value and location! Older hotel but clean and big rooms. Loved cafe right at the hotel. After birding most the day took walks at the beach and ate most meals at the cafe. Parking was facilitated by a new parking attendant we made sure hotel guests were not squeezed out by cafe guests. We had a brand new king size mattress that was super comfortable. Would stay again.

Location. On the beach. No iron/board available. Tv not working. No staff available after 10p or late checkin after 10p.Tile floors slippery w humidty. Low water pressure, maybe due to water saving feature. No ice.

The outside looks sort of run down but the rooms are actually super cute and clean. The attached restaurant had good food. The parking lot is the only issue we had because it’s so small. But overall this place is a hidden gem right on the beach!
