Super close to everything, the property is nice, and the staff was great. The only complaint we had was the floor in our room was not mopped and after we showered our feet turned black… had to ask the front desk to run in and mop while we went to dinner.

It’s a bit old and run down, you can hear your neighbors talking - but the location is perfect! It’s super clean, everything works as expected and the staff was very sweet and helpful. We had problems with our booking and they accommodated us easily. So overall we were very happy with our stay :-)

The location cannot be beat! Literally steps away from the pier, beach, restaurants and downtown, we did not have to move our car once during our visit. Our second floor room had a view of the ocean, and we could hear the waves all night. Parking was easy and Wi-Fi was fast. That said, the property is tired, walls are thin, bed so-so and our room was quite small. For the price, it was perfect. If you are looking for luxury you might want to upgrade.
