The property location worked well for my needs. In this part of town, there are many motels packed so tightly into each other that the areas between motels are a bit "unkept." This was neither the best place or worst place I ever stayed; it was average. Nothing memorable.

My only major complaint is the screaming kids at 7 AM in the morning at the pool. I believe the pool shouldn't be open that early and wait until a later time to accommodate all guests.

The hotel was very clean and the location was great! Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We were very disappointed however with the noise above our room that continued through the night into the morning. We asked to switch rooms the next day. They were very nice and moved us but that room was even worse. Our original room had a window that overlooked the pool and had an ocean view. The new room faced a brick wall and was across from a utility room with staff going in and out making noise. A bright light outside the room was shining through our window and I didn’t get sleep the second night either. We didn’t want to complain again after they had already moved us the first time. Other than that it was ok. Don’t stay there if you are looking for a quiet getaway.
