Rooms were very clean. Located in a very good area. I just wish the water pressure was better, and to update the shower head. Other that that, experience was great.

Old but comfortable

The building is old and rough in places, but the room and the beds were comfortable. The outer stairs are kind of terrifying to carry a suitcase up, so definitely use the ones by the office for that! The employees we interacted with were great and very helpful. A good value for the cost and the view can’t be beat!

While it's not a fancy place, it is a nice spot for what we needed. It was easy access to the beach and allowed for us to go back and forth to our room with our child who has medical needs. We would stay here again for the convenience.
