Everything was pretty clean in our room other than a dirty broom left inside and a couple spiders hanging out by the tub. Other than that everything was very clean, staff was very nice and understanding, and the hotel was quiet. It was very peaceful.

The building is showing it's wear and age, but the room was decent. You could tell the room had been renovated. Price and location worked for us.

Nice staff, pleasant stay. Older aging building.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The building is older and more of a beach house type place. It is showing some serious signs of age and could use some TLC.

It was a very inexpensive hotel. I thought it would be a dive, but it wasn’t and it appears to me that the management really cares about their property.
