For the price it was a good deal! Room was simple. Would’ve appreciated a chair and desk in the room…, but everything was clean which matters to me more. Loved that it was a quick walk to the beach and dining. I’d stay here again for a quick affordable getaway.

First time visiting this hotel and was nervous because I was arriving late at night and wasn’t able to get a hold of hotel for information. However I’m happy I still stayed as it’s a quiet little hotel with great location, staff are friendly. It’s affordable and all you need with a great location. Will definitely return again.

The location was excellent, walkable to beach and restaurants. The walls are thin, we could hear the next door occupant snoring loudly. Not a lot of bells and whistles (no hair dryer or iron) . The staff is nice and accommodating.
