This is a clean hotel with an excellent a/c which you can control in the room. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would have liked to have a location for my wife to put her makeup on but she made due with a table. The location is awesome as there is a diner, a mexican restaurant, and the beach nearby. We definitely recommend this hotel and will be staying there again.

The property was exactly as advertised. No frills and clean, with all the basic amenities. The staff was kind and attentive and made the stay enjoyable for me and my dog.. With only a 5 minute walk to an epic beach, I will stay here again when I am in the area. Very satisfied.
