Staff was very nice. Room was clean, floors were not mopped. Beds firm but ok. Beautiful view. We were on 4th floor and NO elevator. That was a little difficult with bad knees but we made it through. Great location.

This place has a great price and is very clean. It’s right on the beach! Realize it is older and may not have the pizzaz of a new built hotel/condo.

The front desk guy was really nice. The room was just OK. The beds were awful like you couldn’t even roll over without it making a horrible scraping noise on the floor. There was also a stain on one of our beds. The bathroom was clean and the room was a good size. We tried to check in early but they said they charged a $25 fee which was never unheard of from me so we wasted time so we didn’t have to pay the fee overall great place would stay here again.
