Awesome views of the bay from our room, as well as just enough area for our kids to run around and play. The staff was absolutely fantastic. Beds were comfortable, rooms were clean, a little outdated, but everything was clean and worked as it should. Overall our family really enjoyed our stay!

The beds were very comfortable and clean. The room itself is a little dated and falling into disrepair, but that's expected with age. A lot of places to walk to, the beach is about a 5 minute walk which is not bad.
