Guest Ratings & Reviews
Wow! This hotel had one of the best views from the large lanai, and I loved sitting out there. However, there was a big roll of plastic sheeting in a corner, which was a bit odd, and there were a dozen leftover beers in the fridge from the previous guest. The patio could have been more comfortable with lounge chairs instead of just a small glass table and regular chairs.
I found the hotel to be conveniently located in the middle of the property, making it easy to access the restaurants, beach, and pool. The rooms had a basic motel feel with full-view mirrors on the bathroom doors and good lighting, but they weren't of a high standard.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. Although the room was in an older section and had a lingering smell of cigarettes, it felt cozy like home. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was impressive with full-view mirrors and good lighting. Luckily, my partial ocean view room turned out to be delightful.
