Nice hotel but doesn’t deserve the high ratings

The room was nice, comfortable and clean. We found some sand on the sheets though. The hotel did not have a swimming pool. Food prices at their restaurant were better than expected. They allowed us to have an early check in which was surely appreciated.

Perfect location- beach, food and drink access

It was a great location to stay at with great beach access, great food and drinks. I loved that it's a small hotel, but has a huge patio deck with lots of seating and music, parking was perfect, we got to park in front of building so unloading was easy. Checking in was a breeze and Alejandra was nice and helpful.The room was extremely clean and smelled great, cold a/c which is a plus for me, room included mini fridge, coffee maker and tile floors through out. The shower was a bit small but it worked for what it was. I did find that the mattress was a bit firm for me but for a one night stay I was fine. Early morning walk on the beach as its only a few feet away was amazing, perfect way to start the day. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much here and are making plans on returning soon!

The personnel and staff were great. Rooms were very clean. Outside well maintained. The property is older so when the wind blows hard enough the lights flicker and the cable cuts in and out. They do have a bar and grill downstairs that does room service and has a great patio area. I was pleased enough with my stay that I would stay again.

Great place right on the ocean! Clean safe and a place to have lunch and dinner or just drinks. Alexi was so helpful and so nice. And they have housekeeping every day if you want it. Just perfect.
