This property is great because of its easy proximity to the beach-which is so nice. The price is definitely right and it’s a no frills easy hotel to sleep at after a long day in the sun/water. My only complaint is that I tried to access Amazon prime video app and the tv didn’t work and kept showing error codes. Not that big of a deal but would’ve been nice if it had worked

This hotel also wants to see ur guests visa or immigration status. Searching passport for visa page wasn't nice. I suggest that if u have any foreign guest accompanying ur travel, u may need a different hotel otherwise, ur guests may be heckled for privacy documents.

Great location. The bed spread and floors need to be washed. I actually washed the floor . My socks turned black when I took off my shoes.So I soaked the bathmat and pushed it around the floor with my foot. It was black after one pass. A couple of more passes and it was adequate. Need to retrain the maids.
