An older property that has been nicely updated; very clean and well decorated. We had looked forward to the heated pool but the heater was out of commission because of the recent rain. The near-by beach was great but also too cold for swiming.

Construction going on in room adjacent to ours. Heavy traffic right outside our window. Check In staff seemed annoyed with our arrival, could not find our reservation right away and then charged us higher than original price on website.

I just felt like the rooms weren’t cleaned well. Older hotel. So it could’ve been part of it

The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and a host of dining options within walking distance. There was ample parking as well. The bathroom was in dire need of updating (the cold water faucet was separating from the wall in the tub area, the floor tiles were stained, the towels were poor quality and the shampoo, etc., were poor). Given the price of the rooms, I expected more quality. I would not stay there again.
