The location of this spot was great. The owners called me in advance to my stay. I notified them that my Wife and I would be coming in late and they really helped and worked with us on making sure we got in our room after hours. It was very convenient especially after a long day.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beds were uncomfortable. Water was either boiling hot or cold on the shower, knob didn’t allow for an in between. The first night the hot water wasn’t even working. A floor mat would be nice to help keep sand off of the stone tile floor. Price listed seemed worth it then a hotel fee was tacked on and at that point the stay was not worth the price. THE WALLS ARE absolutely paper thin. Doesn’t seem like a quiet time is enforced because people would be up making noise well into the night. Just stay somehwere else.
