Affordable beach getaway ✨️

Great hotel across from the beach. Hot breakfast, clean rooms that seem a bit larger than most. Parking can be a challenge as the underground lot is a bit small. We would definitely stay here again!

Had to Change Rooms

We were excited for our stay because our room had a jetted tub. Unfortunately, the previous occupant smoked cigarettes in the non-smoking room. The odor was very strong. We tried to air it out, but the smell did not go away. We called the front desk and asked to move to another room. The person who checked us in came to the room to see how much it smelled. He immediately smelled the cigarettes. He apologized and gave us another room. It was not a king bed with a jetted rub, but we still enjoyed our stay. Also, the hot breakfast options were great!

Great stay

Great stay. Not a luxury hotel , but I wasn’t there for luxury. Room was VERY spacious with a vaulted ceiling, nice updated hvac system and very good lighting. The bed was comfortable enough. I liked that it had hard floor instead of carpeting! Breakfast was quite good. The seating area was very small, but they had tables outside too . The staff were extremely friendly and helpful .
