The staff is great , very responsive to requests. We stayed on the 2nd floor and had a room with the view of the beach , that was nice. The building is old so the walls and floors are thin and the room below us complained they could hear us. Overall, it was a nice stay, but I will not stay there again.

I didn’t find anything wrong with my stay! From the super clean room, jacuzzi awesome in the room. The ocean view was great and got to see the sunset from outside the patio area. If you plan to go to the beach it’s about 10 min walk. The staff were friendly and helpful. I just wished I stayed extra days!
From the patio area. Lots of room for guests.
Hotel did not provide this. I bought it from home. I was celebrating my hubby’s bday!
