It was convenient and we loved the pool, Bay Area behind to relax. Free bikes, canoes and paddle boarding was exceptional Great environment and close to everything! The only thing I wasn’t pleased with was that it was not as clean as I would liked it to be but, I bring my own cleaning supplies. Great stay!

Affordable and Comfortable Stay near the beach

Great place to rest you head and get breakfast. The staff is amazing. Very cozy small private beach on the bay. Fire pit and pool near the private beach, pet friendly. The main beach is right across the street. Plenty of places within walking distance. Breakfast was good. This is not a fancy hotel, but it is clean and in an excellent location. We will definitely come back!

Staff was really nice especially the lady who serves complementary breakfast in the morning made me feel lat home! Great place for kids and right across the way from the pier and amazing beachside bar! For the price point you could get something just a bit more fancy nearby but otherwise we had a great and memorable stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
When we arrived to our room, the first thing we noticed was the door was open. We thought someone was in there and then we realized the tv and other things were missing from this room. I had to go downstairs a few times to get towels, toilet paper and get someone to get us a tv. They could not give us another room because there was none available. We didn’t get much sleep that night and had to put something in the way of the door.

Breakfast was lacking compared to past years. They charge to park now and it was a hidden fee that we caught but we choose to park across street for free. Rooms very noisy. You could everything outside through the gaps in the doors. Beds were broken down. The best part was the breakfast lady Elizabet. She is amazing. Other staff were ok as well. The hotel is in a great spot. Short walk to beach, shopping and dining.

The property was as expected from the reviews. Quality was good for what we paid. We stayed 3 nights. The only thing was that the room smelled like bleach product the first night. There is a lounge next door as well that you can hear through the night, so if u r a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs. Staff is super nice and helpful

We loved that the Front desk staff were extremely nice, helpful and friendly! We enjoyed the coffee available in the lobby and the rooms were nice and comfortable and the pool/sound area is great. Only things we didn't like were 1) the door to our room was scraping against the door jamb and hard to open and close and 2) the common areas like breezeways could have been a little cleaner. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
