I stayed at this hotel hoping for a beach getaway, but my experience was mixed. On the positive side, it's genuinely close to the beach and has a charming, nostalgic vibe with clean rooms. However, the service left much to be desired, and there were some maintenance issues that detracted from my stay. Overall, it's a wallet-friendly option, but it might not be for everyone.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel during my stay. The location was excellent, just steps away from the beach, and the staff was really nice. However, the condition of the room left much to be desired, with several maintenance issues that could not be overlooked. It was adequate for a last-minute trip but not what I would consider a comfortable stay.

The room was in need of serious updating. I found a large crack in one window, and the shower knob came off in my hand. There were issues like towel bars coming loose and an outlet without a cover, which made it feel unsafe.

I had a very frustrating experience during my stay.

Additionally, the service was lacking as my complaints went unaddressed, leading to an overall disappointing stay. I do not recommend this hotel unless absolutely necessary.

My stay had its ups and downs. While the room I was eventually moved to was clean and comfortable with beautiful ocean views, the initial room was unacceptable. The hotel location right on the beach is convenient, but the pool area made me hesitant to swim due to safety concerns. Overall, there's potential, but improvements are needed in cleanliness and safety.

I had an okay stay at this hotel which offers direct beach access and an Oceanview balcony. While the beach was beautiful and clean, the condition of the rooms and the overall atmosphere felt a bit sketchy. I wouldn't recommend it for families due to some questionable residents. For $145, it served as a basic spot to crash but didn't meet my expectations for comfort and upkeep.
