Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel rooms are spacious with full kitchen (appliances, dishes, utensils, etc.) and good size bathroom. Staff was helpful when we had minor issues like needing towels. I enjoy being in rooms without carpet flooring, so that was a plus for me. About a 15 minute drive from the beach. I would stay here again!

Liked: Amenities
Very clean and easy check in, but do know furry friends add an extra $25 per pet to fees upon check in. We were surprised by this as I didn’t see it anywhere while booking through Expedia, and had to fork out an extra $50 only to sleep there and check out the next morning. BIG bummer! Other than that, would recommend.

Just okay

Hotel was decent, rooms were clean but a bit small. The area wasn't the best but plenty of food options close by. I don't know if I would stay there again but you could do worse.
