Enjoyable stay
The hotel was clean, the rooms were very nice with a great view of the ocean, and the beach area was convenient. Having the beach chairs supplied was a perk. The staff were nice and helpful. Would definitely return.

Would definitely stay again!
Although it is what seems to be an older hotel, the whole room was remodeled and refurbished, as was most of the lobby and they are currently redoing the restaurant while I stayed there. Would definitely stay there again!!

Weekend getaway
We have booked here several times and always have a wonderful stay. No complaints at all. It's a pet friendly, family and couples welcome retreat. All rooms are oceanfront. Beach chairs provided with pool hot tub and fitness room. Excited for the restaurant renovations to be completed for our next visit!

Enjoyable stay in April
Hotel was extremely nice and clean, quiet and private. We were disappointed that the restaurant and bar were not open yet, but we enjoyed the hot tub. The chairs for the beach were nice to have down by the shoreline too. We saw dolphins up and down the shoreline, even from our balcony.

It's newly renovated, lobby looks very nice, price is very affordable for the location. We chose the 2 full beds for our family of 4, the room was small, bathroom was small but it was just for one night we didn't mind it. Definitely will pick a bigger room/beds for longer stay. Easy access to the beach/playground/pool, and we love that they provided beach chairs. Restaurant was under renovation, so we had to drive 15-20 mins to the nearest open restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and will come back again.
