This was a lovely hotel with a short walk to the beach, stores, and restaurants. The pool and hot tub were outdoor but well heated so we enjoyed swimming at night after we got back from a busy day.

Pretty good, not terribly amazing though

Overall it was good. We had a great time. But the place is kind of old and a bit run down. It has low ceilings in the areas you walk through to get to each room. I think rugs in each room would add a nice touch. They let us upgrade to a room with a kitchenette for free and I really appreciated that. My kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the easy distance to the beach. The breakfast was okay. It could have definitely been more fresh, that's for sure. But it was lovely for what it was and I enjoyed the quiet of the week before a ton more guests arrived.

The Receptionist (Michelle) who didn’t want to give us her name but we got it from another employee was extremely disrespectful rude and racist. Rest of the staff was nice and helpful. We pay for a ocean view didn’t get what we pay for. We made a video of how we got treated by this woman I’ll be posting this on social media.
