Loved the almost instant hot water and pressure. Easy parking and lovely location across the street from the beach. We chose this specific hotel for the breakfast but they were wiped out of everything by 8:30 am so we had to spend money on breakfast both mornings. That was very disappointing.

Staff was nice and property looked cleaned. I got there early and was lucky enough to check in early. Room had two beds, one did have a big stain on one of the bed sheets that looked like it’s been there for a while. There was a strange smell at first, but Other than that room Was okay.

Meh …

Overpriced for a fairly tired hotel. No hot water. Great location near beach is the only positive. But for over $250 a night, not really up to that standard of that price bracket. If it was $150 per night, that would be more on par with the standard of the buildings/rooms.

Just ok - needs more maintenance

Room needs some work: mold/mildew on bathroom ceiling, sink doesn’t drain very well, TV is crooked on wall, and pillows are lumpy. On the plus side, bed was comfortable (aside from the pillows), laminate flooring is nice, and breakfast was decent (although breakfast trash can was overflowing and floors were sticky).

For when I can’t get to an island as fast…

It was a lovely, and needed little vacation for myself. I slept well. The food was good. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. The beach being right there too made it that much better.
