I love this place. The location is amazing and the beach is wonderful. We stayed in an older room so it wasn’t the cleanest but the rooms were pristine for my prior 3 stays. Really nice hotel guests and fairly quiet for being in the middle of all the beach activities. I will be back!

For being off season it was a great place to stay at a good price. Rooms were nice, beds are very uncomfortable and they should leave a rug or broom in room for beach sand clean up. Would stay again during off season but not too sure I’d go during summer as parking is extremely limited.

The staff was very helpful. The apartment we stayed at was very clean. The issues were with the bar noise being very loud at night, people being very loud at night and the inability to be able to park 1 night by our apartment. Otherwise the hotel was good.
