Great area to be in. Property is right on the beach with ocean view rooms. Located in an area that is not surrounded by lots of high rise buildings so it makes the beach less crowded. Close to some shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely book here again!

We loved our stay. The only thing lacking was that the dispensers in bath were empty (we had brought some of our own so no worries). We were on the end on 6th floor and our view facing the beach and the sound of the ocean were spectacular. Room was clean and spacious. Hotel was quiet and we had no issues.

We had a room on the first floor that had a view of the pool and beach. The room was a little dated but clean and spacious. The staff were kind and very attentive. Parking was onsite and across the street. We loved the beach area and the view. The pool and hot tub areas were also clean and well kept.

The pool was exceptionally clean. The hot tub was clean. The location was great with a grocery store nearby which unfortunately looks like it’s closing soon. The room was also very clean and comfortable. It was overall a great day. The hotel is a little bit dated, but still a great value. We would definitely return.
