It was okay. The view is great and since it’s literally on the beach, it’s just a few steps from it. The room was averagely cleaned. I will say, the bath tub was clogged with water and it turned out it was because of the stopper but I assumed house cleaning would’ve done a check before we arrived. I found some stains on the bed cover so I removed it. Breakfast was also okay. The staff was really nice and welcoming. Overall, if it’s a quick stay, it works.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We had a great stay. The layout of the family suite splits the space into 2 separate rooms, which we really appreciated (no door between the rooms, though). The property is right on the beach; some rooms have a beach view (ours didn't). Free breakfast goes till 10. We stayed Sat/Sun, and there was a different menu each day (plain omelet/ home fries/ sausage - Sat; bacon/ scrambled eggs/ biscuit and gravy - Sun.). Cons: The hotel is right by the main road, so the noise of traffic is quite loud and constant even in the evening. However, you can't hear it when you're behind the building and on the beach. It does make going out very convenient.
