The hotel was nice. Very close to lots of dinning, grocery store, gas, the beach. Very convenient. The man at the counter was also very nice. Was sad they only have the mini golf on the weekends. Cuz it looked very fun. But besides that, everything was nice.

First time stay

It was a nice stay and we would come back again. I wish they offered a microwave and the fridge was loud but overall a nice trip.

Terrible experience

Our room was facing a busy road and directly outside the door was a very bright light and vending machines. The draperies did not block the light. The room smelled like mildew. Do not stay here.
