"We enjoyed our stay. Although an older hotel, it has many recent updates. There are 2 nice pools and it is on the beach (walkway to beach provided). The included breakfast was ok! I am just upset that my early check in should have been included and I was charged $20."

"We got the first floor so not the ocean view we were hoping for. We could barely see the top of the water. But cleanliness was a 5/5. It’s quiet as well. Beach access is still closed and high tides in that area are rough."
