Overall not a bad place. The place was clean and staff was friendly. The size of the pool in the pictures was a little misleading. Great location - was able to walk to restaurants and the beach (about two blocks away).

The hotel itself was very good considering the low price we paid. Amenities were in great condition, no defects. The areas around the hotel were all at a walkable distance which was great because we didn’t have to use our car much. Only downside was the bedding was uncomfortable and scratchy, would recommend bringing your own blankets.
