Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
For the price, it was fine. It was clean, and i would stay again, however, our room was just the 1 queen bed and it was a bit tight. The shower was big, but the rest of the bathroom was snug. The sink was very small and the water was hard to keep in it. But it was reasonably priced for the area.

Honesty, I wasnt that impressed upon pulling in to the property. The room, however was just fine for my mother & I. It was conveniently located within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. My only complaint is that parking is very tight.
