The room was clean and the bed very comfortable the beach was very close. The only issue I had was there was no hot water in the shower and the pressure was really lacking. Also the person that had the room next to mine had small children and pets and they were very loud and I had to call the office to complaint. The hotel has an excellent restaurant on site that has very good service and meals

AC was good. Room was small/simple and clean. The shower was barely lukewarm turned up all the way. The walls were super thin so it was noisy. Overall a decent motel but I was a bit disappointed at the steep price for a standard room. I was there on high season so maybe prices are more reasonable at other times of year.
