This property is an incredible value. It certainly has some age on it, but it's super clean and so very convenient to the beach. There's also a lovely beachside pool. The price can NOT be beat. I love the old Florida vibe. Wonderful restaurant just across the road too.

Terrance

Liked: Amenities
Proximity to the beach. Room had an adequate supply of equipment, minus teaspoons. Beds were comfy with 4 good sized pillows. The only downside was there are no net curtains so everyone walking past looked in so we had to keep the curtains closed making it dark. There was a good supply of snacks at reception and coffee. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Right on the beach, need I say more. Hotel is very clean and well kept. Negatives .. they allow smoking outside the rooms which means smoke you have to walk through and smell.

Staff was wonderful! The room was decent….carpet was dirty, room smelled very musty, water only came out of about 12 holes in the shower head, bed squeaked every time you moved, pillows very lumpy, tv remote didn’t work (staff fixed next day)…tight parking mostly suitable for average cars (we drive a lifted truck)! Pros are it’s centrally located to most anything, the pool was nice and very close to the beach! Housekeeping brought towels everyday and made bed!
