The hotel has a great beachside location, making it easy to access the beach and local attractions. However, the rooms feel outdated and could use some repairs. While the service staff were friendly and helpful, the room's air conditioning was very loud and the cleanliness around the vents was questionable. Overall, it's a decent stay if you're not too picky about the room condition.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was absolutely wonderful, right on the ocean and perfect for beach access. However, the rooms were rather filthy, which was disappointing. The service was decent, and it offered a nice apology and breakfast when we raised our concerns. It's great value for money considering the off-season rates, but the cleanliness definitely needs improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely fantastic, right by the beach, making it easy to enjoy the ocean. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired; they felt older and had a musty smell that wasn't very pleasant. On the plus side, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay more enjoyable. Overall, while it has great potential, it definitely needs some improvements in cleanliness and updates to the rooms.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location is unbeatable, making it super easy to stroll to the beach and nearby stores. The service was great with friendly and helpful staff. However, the rooms need some attention due to cleanliness issues and safety concerns with the lighting. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I expected more luxury for the price I paid.
