This is a great little beachside hotel...not much in the way of frills, but that's just what we were looking for. Intimate, convenient, unpretentious...perfect for a casual getaway.

We weren't given abeach view room. If you like a large pool with lots of things to do go somewhere else. Too quiet and the beach was not amazing

Room was nice, but had a few problems like the sliding door difficult to close, tv was broken, bugs in the bathroom. Lots of road noise in room 205 and 206. Location was great. g Great pool and beach. Next door restaurants/bars had greatfood and fun.

The room was beautiful. Very clean. But it is right on the highway and we heard traffic and noise all night.
