"The hotel was very well maintained and the room was modern and clean. Location was equal distance to the marina and pier - about .5 miles. Room was quiet and the hotel felt safe. Good for families, friends or for a place near the beach. Not a couples places, though."

10/10 Excellent
"O went by myself with my two little kids, and what an amazing time we had. The place has everything you need to meet all your necessities. It’s super clean, you see the staff(and they have a lot) cleaning rooms, halls, stairs, and everything around so the place is well kept. Even though it’s a little old (which a lot of places around that area are), it is kept in great condition. The lobby is so welcoming. The staff is great. The location couldn’t be better. The rooms are so spacious and have a place to put everything and they are also very clean. The room also have a small fridge that works great. The AC and ceiling fan works amazing. The swimming pool was the highlight of my daughter’s trip (and it was really clean) To me if q place is clean and well maintained, it doesn’t matter how old it is, it is prefect! Thank you for making us have such an unforgettable time. We will be back!!!"
