It's in a great location right on the beach, price was not cheap like a motel so i had my expectations. Breakfast- great by far from other hotel chains we stayed in before! We loved it!! But the room...the minute we entered I smelled the dusty/ moldy smell of an old carpet. Horrible for people like me who are smell-sensitive. Because we were staying only one night and robert at the front desk was so kind and sweet,i only asked to spray around something to be able to breathe. Didn't help but he meant well, i know. Too old and un taking care of which is awfully sad because it has great potential.
