I was pleasantly surprised with my stay here. While it’s not The Ritz, my room was extremely clean and my bed and pillows were very comfortable. My room also included a kitchenette which was quite useful. The staff there are some of the friendliest hotel staff I have ever met, and the sweet owner is often there to welcome guests. Plus, it’s on the beach!
