"This property is right on the beach. The view is awesome. Could see the sun rise. 😀 Check in was great. Very friendly staff. The hotel is older , no microwave or coffee machine but we knew that from the amenities listed . Only a mini fridge and a TV . I pulled out the nightstand to plug in my charger and it doesn’t look like it was cleaned there for a while . Having said that other than that the room was clean. Would stay there again"
