Staff wasn't friendly at first but besides that the room was filthy. The furniture dirty and grimy. The linens and towels were dingy looking. The beach towels and view were great. Stairs are a big problem. Not handicap accessible.

Perfect getaway location

It was directly on to the beach with a beautiful pool as well, I had a patio leading out on to the beach front. They have all these extras for free, like borrowing a bike and local coffee to use with your coffeemaker in the room. Can easily walk to the town to get food, drinks or coffee. Absolutely beautiful.

Great view, nice pool. Front desk friendly and free bikes to ride on bike path. Full kitchen had limited items. No toaster, blender, can opener, towels, or lids for pots. Functional but don't expect "full" kitchen.

Would stay again!

Although the room was dated, and a few repairs are needed, the wonderful staff made all the difference. We received a very warm welcome. Our room was ready early, and there was even some fresh delicious banana bread for us.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The view from the hotel patio was extraordinary. The hotel it self was not so great. Roaches in the room, had to be very careful not to leave luggage on the floor, hoping to keep the roaches out of our luggage. The beds were old and worn out. The rooms overall were dated and in need of repair. I was told you have to request house keeping, so I did. They never came. The pool was nice.
