Staff was great! Property was clean and the rooms looked like the photos! Unfortunately our room had a strong muggy smell and from being super tired from the drive we never looked at our beds and pillow cases which we looked at in the morning that they had Mold on them which wife and daughter had slept on.

Everything seemed to be ok with the room. It’s not the Hilton, if that’s what you’re looking for. The property itself was a bit sketchy. Upon arrival there were men hanging around outside and being loud, was told police patrolled the area periodically. You get what you pay for…we started our vacation early, so we came into town late and just needed somewhere to rest until we could check into our Airbnb the next day.

Location was right in the middle area and not but a few miles to the beach. Was very quiet at night and the ac about froze us out of the room and office had extra blankets. The gentleman in the office was super nice. We went able to save money by staying there so we were able to afford extra stuff. It's a win win situation. We'll definitely stay here again.
