Cute little hotel, with an awesome location. Needs a little bit of upkeep inside the rooms as they are starting to look a little worn… Love that they let you use chairs and towels for the nearby beach. Staff was friendly and helpful with making recommendations for restaurants, pool needs cleaning… And overall a great stay

The room was spacious and accommodated our family of 5 well! The room was clean and provided a lot of space for our belongings. The only downsides were that the room beside us was really loud (not the hotels fault though) and it was near a main thoroughfare, so it was a bit louder than anticipated. However, the staff was really friendly, accommodating and the hotel offered extra amenities that I wasn’t expecting like “guest of the day” and tokens to rent beach equipment.
