Great room and view. Breakfast was okay. I was hoping the have eggs and hot meals. The pool, room views and access to the beach are the best part of the stay. They charge $20 per towel for pool and beach so bring one along. Over all great experience.

Continental breakfast was more than expected. They had yougurt, pastries, oatmeal, cereal and milk, but also packaged sausage biscuits and waffles that could be warmed up along with coffee and juice. The room was a good size for a double room. We appreciated the microwave and mini fridge/freezer combo. The walk to the beach is just seconds and you don’t have to find parking which is the cherry on top! The shower had low pressure and the head could use replacing but that did not hinder our experience. We had a great time and I would absolutely stay here again!

The staff was on top of it, from check in to check out. I didn't need new towels or anything during our stay, but the kids left a mess on the floor from changing out of bathing suits. Housekeeping was more than happy to assist in vacuuming up our room while we were there.

The rooms are clean and spacious. One building is newer than the other so some rooms are a bit dated. There’s a pool and a sunroom to enjoy the beach view while sheltering from the wind. There are beachside cafe tables if you’d care to picnic. Rooms are equipped with fridge/freezer and microwave. Rooms in the newer building have balconies. Clean and comfortable, will definitely return!

The kitchen area was nice, microwave and refrig/freezer worked well. The tub had rust, due to age, but shower worked fine. The bed was super comfortable. However, when we opened the room door on Tuesday evening, there was a roach on one of the beds. It was not a good way to start the stay.
