We arrived just before the front desk closes for the evening. We were traveling for a funeral and this was approximately halfway on our trip. We chose it because it had fabulous reviews and a great price. I would definitely stay there again and visit the beach if it was a pleasure trip. The gentleman and his wife who checked us in were very nice, they had a power outage right as we were ready to check in, but they were able to give us our keys and ask us if we needed a flashlight. Fortunately, the power came back on very quickly. The room was clean, not anything fancy, but comfortable and had everything we needed. The courtyard is beautiful, and I would’ve loved to spend some time there. They were growing vegetables, which I thought was a very cool addition. All in all a great place to stay!

skeptical when viewing online, but the price was right so we decided to give it a shot. We were pleasantly surprised. It looks plain on the outside, but the rooms have been recently updated, as have the restrooms. The room we were in had nice wood floors, so much better than carpet. There is a lovely, well kept courtyard in the center of the property and you can tell the manager takes pride in keeping it up nice.

My boyfriend and I had to book last minute in the middle of the night after an issue with the place we were originally staying. We wish we would have stayed here the whole time - the place was so clean, the water pressure and temp was great, and it had a nice little courtyard in the center.
