"It was walking distance to the beach & that was great. The room was also secure. On the other hand, I did not like the keyless entry. Parking was cramped on Labor Day weekend. Parking might be easier at non-holiday times. No breakfast available was unfortunate."

"Rooms are very very old. Nothing has been updated for 20 years. Can’t adjust the ac because they don’t even have a thermostat with numbers to set the temp. Very poor quality hotel. Would not stay here again."

"Location was wonderful. But…the surrounding area was really loud until 2:00am. I get that’s part of the area. But on a Monday was a huge surprise. The room was clean but was expecting it to be more updated for the money. Needs a facelift. I was disappointed."
