Purchased the protection plan just in case and sure enough had an emergency arise. The Hotel nor Expedia could cancel or refund even partial payment. So purchase at your own risk. Next year I’ll be staying elsewhere and will recommend others do the same.
Property was perfect for a nice relaxing time. A quick walk across the street into the beautiful sand. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Definitely will stay again.
The front desk person was the worst. I waited 45 minutes to check in cause they were closed and the sign said be back in 10 minutes. When I asked what was goi g on. She stated. She had things to do and that was it. She was super rude.
Great location on the Seawall and near by everything. Clean, ac worked well, plenty of free parking and for the price, it’s good for what you get. I wouldn’t pay more than $100 and it’s great for budget travel.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Convenient location, rooms were clean, but the smell of the room freshner was overwhelming! Very strong smell that was not pleasant.
The parking was good. And the room was clean. Very convenient to the beach! Across the street! Only con is the shower is small and water will get on floor despite shower curtain.
