This is a good hotel for the price, and very close to beach. The room had 2 double beds which were comfortable, also had a toaster, coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge. The tv had many channels to choose from. This is an older hotel so t could use a little tlc in spots, but if your looking for easy access to beach and the strip at a great price this is it. The man at front desk is very helpful as well
