This hotel is a bit tired but has a fabulous view. The room is dated and needs paint, but everything was clean. As noted, the view, especially for sunrise was great. The desk staff were very helpful and nice. Borrowed a cruiser for the beach trail - same vein… trail was fantastic but bike was definitely tired. Made a nice ticking noise every pedal rotation- good for alerting walkers you’re coming. 😂 On the mainland, I would have been upset by how much I paid for the night, but what are you going to do?

Nice place! Would've used the coffee machine but it wasn't the most clean, and the fridge had a smell so we didn't end up using that either, other than that, it's a nice place to stay. Great views!

Booked it on a whim as i needed a place to stay for an evening very last minute. Woman at checkin was so upbeat and nice. Facility was older but extremely clean and well maintained which i honestly prefer to the marble walled resorts. Located on a super pretty beach, plenty pf amenities/food within walking distance.
