Upon arrival we got offered a late check out and an upgraded room! Staff was very nice and the hotel was very secure and clean. After hours you had to enter a passcode to enter the building so that made us feel very safe. Will for sure be staying here again!

All went well with our stay. A few things in our room #405 - The refrigerator leaked a little bit but told the front desk the next morning. The shower gel and conditioner pump wasn’t working. During the afternoon and evenings can be a little noisy but they did have ear plugs if you needed them. Would stay there again since it’s walking distance to the beach!

The room was clean and stylish. Staff was very friendly and accomodating to our needs. Only fault would be the water pressure and temperature could've been better.

Nice place to stay and super close to the beach! Being able to walk to the beach was the best part. The rooms are simple but they have everything you need. It’s not a luxury hotel but a cheap way to be close to the beach. Worth it!!

Updated property and the staff was very nice. Like the ease of check in but the hotel was noisy! From other guests to traffic. Parking was a fee I wasn’t aware of until it was time to check in. Also small parking lot! Amenities were self serve.

Not bad of a stay! Everything was pretty streamlined as long as you download the app and do your check in ahead of time. Parking is super tight and compact but we never had issues getting a spot. We stayed on the 4th floor facing the highway and it really wasn’t too noisy at all. They do provide ear plugs and a white noise machine in case you need. The property is definitely dated and can use some better deep cleaning. The bathroom in particular had multiple dirt spots in the shower which was off putting. Walls are pretty thin so if someone on the other side of the wall or in the hall is noisy, you can hear it. Overall, it wasn’t a horrible stay. Loved that the beach is right across the road. And close drive to multiple restaurants and shops.

Really enjoyed my stay here! It’s beach accessible, with plenty of parking on-site for $20, and even some off-site spots if you’re lucky. The only downside was the cleaning staff—they only come around after your 6th consecutive night. Otherwise, everything was great!

Good value for money.

Was a quick stay & was wonderful . Loved how close we were to the beach. The heated pool is small but good enough for some laps. Loved your lounge area.
