This is a great location. The staff did a great job! This is an older-very old hotel. So it is outdated, but it met the needs of a clean hotel for the night. The mini mart and liquer store (if you need something) is walking distance. The restraunt served good food. If you are looking for simple-clean-budget-this is it. Not new, not fancy. But i slept great. Worth what i paid.

This is an older hotel. The bed and pillows weren't the most comfortable, but doable. The room was a bit cramped. We enjoyed our stay. We had requested a room with a balcony, however it was misleading, as the upper floor was a walkway, and not a balcony for the room. That's the case with nearly all the rooms here. We did have a large picture window facing the ocean, which was nice. But it wasn't what we'd anticipated, being able to sit outdoors on our own balcony with an ocean view. Which is why we chose this hotel.

Great lodge experience

Mattress was so soft we rolled into the middle like an air mattress going flat but other than that it was a great stay. Loved the room, restaurant and location. Had a king room with a slider out to the pool area. Included a tiny private patio. Short walk down to the beach. Will definitely return.
