This is our go to hotel for summer vacations! Great stay for an excellent price. Breakfast is included, and includes a variety of items. The room is spacious with a great view from the balcony. Only negative was a lack of kitchen utensils which was easily solved for less than $5 at the local Walmart.

My stay here was good overall. The hotel room had some wear and tear but they seem to be maintained well. The Keurig and mini fridge was a nice touch. My room was clean and I didn’t have any noise disturbances during my stay so that was a plus. I would stay here again.
