This is a great location though it is really a motel type property not a hotel with a lot of amenities. But it is very close to the beach and towels, chairs, and umbrella are included.

The staff was really excellent, and did a lot to make us feel at home. My only complaint is that the wifi was spotty, but to be fair, we didn't say anything and the staff had no opportunity to fix it. It's a perfect place to stay if you aren't planning to spend much time in the hotel, which we were not.

It was great. Quiet and maintained well and a short walk to the beach. It’s not a luxury stay but the room was cute and well appointed with a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. They even have pool/beach towels that you can use. Staff was helpful and polite. We will return.

Clean room and bathroom, AC worked great, great coffee/breakfast place next door and other shops/restaurants in walking distance. GREAT beach for surfer or sunset watching is a 4 minute walk down the hill. Pool and hot tub were clean and nice. Oh and they give you towels that you can take to the beach
