We stayed in Bungalow and our room was very small and very outdated. Our bathroom fan didn't work, the Exit sign illuminated into our window like a red light, no safe for our valuables thus never getting our room cleaned. Wish we knew more about the lodging itself before updating booking. We did end up at the hotel and our room was better but still very outdated.

This is our third time staying at this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay, clean hotel, nice location, beach loungers, towels and umbrellas included. Our only complaint is that a couple of days, housekeeping was still cleaning our room at 5-5:30 pm when we returned from the beach.

I loved the location of this hotel as it’s walkable to a grocery store and many restaurants. the staff are amazing! It is a dog friendly hotel however that has its downs for those who hear them from another room. Second time there and feel like I was given the worse room in the place. Second floor and I asked for highest floor, over the front of the building - Main Street so traffic noises and at the elevator! Also joint room - one could hear the neighbours speaking! The coffee shop is understaffed in the morning! Long lineups. The pool, pool bar, and beach are great.

I wont stay in a bungalow again. The floors turned my feet black dirty, the showers had mold on grout, the wall next to the sink was splattered with toothpaste, and the vents were caked with dust. But I loved the property and the staff and heard from others that the rooms in the main building were great- so if probably try that next time.
