Decent enough

Decent hotel. The staff was friendly. The location was the best aspect. It’s right next to the beach. The worst aspect was the pillows. They were not comfortable at all.

Met my college roommate and we had a wonderful stay. Rooms are dated, as other reviewers stated, but very clean and the staff was amazing - super friendly and helpful. Bonus that we found free parking in the lot and there was a continental breakfast buffet included. Great location, too! We’ll definitely return!!!
