Overall great place to stay!
This place is great! It is an older place and a little dated but our room was clean and smelled amazing. Awesome location and the outside bar was cool. Food was delicious! Only thing that could have been better is the bed comfort. Very accommodating and everyone was so nice! Definitely will come back and stay here.

The hotel was right on the beach. The tile floors made easy clean-up from sand. The beds were comfortable enough but luckily we brought our own pillows for extra. We really enjoyed our stay for a beach trip.
