The location is good as it was right on the beach with easy access to the water. The pool was open until 10pm but there was no lighting. The curtains and the bathtub in the room were disgustingly dirty. The front desk staff was very helpful and nice. Overall I would not choose to stay here again.

Room was great. Retro even, which I love, very well maintained. Didn't utilize the kitchenette but great option. Room was clean, nice porch, able to hang wet stuff from the beach. Beds were comfortable. Room service was done. Toilet made an awful noise while refilling after flushed, not a huge deal but kids were bothered by noise, and I wouldn't recommend flushing while anyone was asleep. Also sounds silly but old shower still had separate handles for hot and cold, little tricky to get temp right, but easy enough, just careful with kids. Both pools we used were nice and clean and just a a few steps to the beach was the key factor. Would stay here again.
