Close to the beach

The hotel is right on the beach, For the price point it was great. The room was clean not really modern but you stay there for the beach not the room.

The location is great. It is a very run down motel and smells a bit like smoke in areas due to staff and guests smoking in the parking garage. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Budget friendly & comfortable

Right at the entrance to the beach, this no-frills location offers a decent room with comfortable beds & pillows. Where amenities are lacking, the location and cost still make it a good choice for the beach going budget-conscious vacationer.

Stayed two nights. The location and access to the beach are outstanding. Having private access to walk down to the beach is one reason I would stay again. The room was very spacious and it was clean. The carpet is older, in the fact that the room had a little bit of a musty odor. Nothing that would stop me from staying again. The view was very nice and good for people watching on the balcony. Nice restaurant/bar a few feet away. We got there exactly at three o'clock and were checked in quickly. Overall very nice place for being an older hotel.
