The location was perfect! i could easily walk to the beach and lots of restaurants nearby. the room was clean and quite spacious. I really appreciated that. parking behind the building was easy to find, a definite plus.

the hotel definitely needs some updating. i noticed chipping paint and somewhat old carpets. the air conditioning unit was pretty loud, hard to sleep. also, the towels were quite thin.
