"The staff and rooms were very wonderful. Just a block away from the beautiful beach! I was disappointed in the parking. You pay an extra 15.00 a day for your car to park in the parking lot! The way it was disclosed to me was not exactly truthful before arrival so that was not favorable. So…if you stay there…just know to add on 15.00 a day for parking your car. Other than that, the hotel is nice and updated. It’s old and just basic amenities but quiet and nice."
