The hotel management, quality and service of room were not at all satisfactory. Moreover the receptionist was very rude while talking to me. I had to sleep out in my car.

We enjoyed our clean spacious room and very comfortable bed. Nice view from 2nd floor windows onto big trees, quiet. Good price on Expedia. Would return.

Nice hotel, quiet, close to the beach

In general was ok. The only problem was that during our stay, they never cleaned the room.

HOTEL HELL

Pros: location.
Cons: everything,the 1970's decor.
We arrived at 2pm check in time and the office was closed with a ( WILL BE BACK AT 2PM ) sign in the window.At 2:15 one of the housekeepers came up and said the manager was delayed and will be here to open at 3. So we waited. At 3pm the same person opened the office and started checking people in.In the room was dusty and had 2 lights that were burned out,in needed places.The worst pillows i have ever tried to sleep on.

Good location. That's it!

Hotel was dated. No AC and was stuffy. Had to ask for towels both days as they were not in room. Very small staff and owner ( or lady in charge) seems overwhelmed. Breakfast which we thought was included is only on Saturday and Sunday. There is an extra $7.00 fee when you arrive.

Outdated

Heating within room was broken, so no heat in 50 degree weather. tv was an old crt tv with 25 channels and a remote that was broken. pillows were too small, so they were kind enough to give us more. Found several hairs in the bed before we slept in it. Fixtures are from the 50's.
