Hotel staff was amazing. Location fantastic. Rooms are cute. Definite beach vibes. Only thing we were traveling as a family and the rooms are super duper small. Very tight quarters and bathrooms were old and small and loud. But still got the job done.

Parking felt secure thanks to the bright outdoor lighting that keeps the cars well‑lit throughout the night. The rooms have a great updated look. The only downside was the bathroom — it had a funky odor and didn’t seem as clean as the rest of the space. Great location.
