Liked: Cleanliness
The NOISE! Walls and ceilings have to be thinnest plywood available! No noise dampening at all. All noise sounds, such as heaters, toilets, vents absolutely echo everywhere— from other rooms! My heater is in a corner with a cabinet in front of it, so very inefficient and loudly comes on every few minutes. Thank goodness it’s one night, and never again. Check in lady was the sweetest ever! So, staff is wonderful. Building itself is NOT!

We stayed here for two nights. The room was nice and clean. However, we stayed in a room on the first floor and could hear every footstep & noise from the room on top. It was a bit annoying, so if you stay here maybe suggest a room on the second floor. Or maybe we just got unlucky. Breakfast is super simple, It’s not your average hotel breakfast you would normally have in mind lol. Overall it was nice and walking distance to the beach.

Close to beach, dog friendly, and free EV charging. Downstairs rooms have no sound insulation from upstairs rooms. Can be very loud. I believe if you stay there with your dogs you will be put in a downstairs room…
