Older hotel, great location

This little hotel is in a great location on a beautiful beach, with amazing views from the oceanfront rooms. It’s an older property that is definitely showing wear and tear though, but you can see the improvements they are trying to make throughout the building. The room itself felt damp, and did have a musty smell, and the beds were lumpy and not comfortable. Hopefully new mattresses are part of the upgrades in the future! The hotel staff was friendly and the breakfast area was nice and clean and had a good amount for a continental breakfast. Both pool areas were small, but nice! I would stay here again in the future, for a night or two, but there are also many affordable condos on the island that could be a better option for a longer stay.

Front desk ladies were not overly friendly, although they were efficient. Property isn't fancy, but good value for the price. Balcony right on the beach overlooking the outdoor pool.

Besides the marching and stomping from the people above us and the consistent clicking from the HVAC unit in our room, the stay was decent.
