Excellent Stay with Great Amenities
quiet location friendly staff clean room
I found the location quiet, yet the main areas of town were easily walkable. The room was clean, and the staff were professional and very friendly. I will come back here when I am in town again.
I noticed the hotel felt somewhat outdated, and the Wi-Fi signal was stronger on the balcony than inside the room.

a satisfactory stay
great water pressure convenient location poor maintenance missing light
i stayed one night for a concert. the location was convenient for accessing both the beach and the concert venue. the room exceeded my expectations given the price. the shower had great water pressure.
the hotel felt a bit run down. the exterior looked like it needed some maintenance. the lights were out on my side of the building early in the morning, requiring me to use a flashlight.
