This is an old hotel, refurbished rooms are still old and musky, that being said you can’t beat location. I had an ocean view with a balcony, great sunset view but you get the smells from the restaurant and everyone can see inside your room. I’m giving it an extra star because the front desk staff was great, especially Aiden. I would not recommend this hotel for a woman traveling alone.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean, staff so kind and welcoming. But the moment I opened the door to my room and saw my view, my jaw dropped and I was giddy! As a single female, I felt very safe here. Tons of food options in very close proximity. But hearing the waves and seeing them all night was amaxing. Highly recommended. But keep in mind, this is not a new hotel but one filled with charm and unbelievable views and proximity to the beach.
