Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms felt a little dated but were adequate. The air conditioner was awesome, and the shower felt like a waterfall. The balcony was a nice touch, although the online pictures were a bit deceiving.
The hotel was located facing a heavily used road, causing disturbances late at night and early in the morning. The rooms were a bit dark and stuffy without adequate ventilation but had all the necessary amenities and were impeccably clean. The service was friendly and helpful, although assistance with baggage to the third floor was needed due to the absence of an elevator. The location was ideal for beach access, with convenient dining options nearby, but some updates were necessary. The dining experience offered the opportunity to enjoy meals at Uncle Bill's Pancake House along the beach bike path. Overall, the hotel provided a mix of positive and negative aspects.
