Initially, we thought the area around it looked pretty slumish, but it is extremely safe and a short walk to the beach. The rooms were spacious and clean. There was noise from the road but the owner was extremely nice and a place is extremely clean and for the price was a good deal.

Okay. Here’s the deal here. This property is on a busy highway so it can get noisy. I booked for two rooms with queen beds, they were not. We also stayed for multiple nights hoping to get a turndown service, did not. Perhaps the most disappointing thing was that we had an early morning flight and had to leave very early and there was not a single staff member present. All the lights were off and gates closed. We were forced to write a note and leave our keys. The place is cute, has parking, and breakfast was amazing, but honestly, the fact that no one was working when we needed to check out really rattled me. We knocked on multiple employee doors, and sent various messages. I even left my kindle, messaged if there was anything they could do, didn’t hear A THING. I will not return.
