The kiosk check-in was a breeze and the room was clean and comfortable. Its an older hotel so the shower is a bit small but manageable. Nothing fancy but had everything you need a stay at the beach. The location is perfect! Would stay again.

The room was just ok but beach access more than made up for the building flaws. I would definitely stay again. We only stayed one night so we didn't have time to explore the amenities other than the beach.
