    Rooms were stinky

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location was great; just what we had hoped for. The patio area overlooked the beach: we spent a lot of our time out there. While we didn't use the pool, it looked nice; had pool toys and floats for guests to use. The room is in GREAT need of entire renovation. It was depressing.

    Beautiful views great staff

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location is amazing, right across from the beach and walking distance to lots of things. Very outdated. Probably wouldn't stay again because of how old everything was.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It was clean and comfortable for an overnight stopover No kettle or coffee maker in the room. Also no hairdryer. We were only there for one night so it wasn’t a big problem.

    The location to beach and downtown It was old and run down. It was not kept up and the view from my bathroom was of junk.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Trophy location! Old, stained wall-to-carpet... ick! I forgot about this as I stayed here 2 years ago.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Close to beach, cool ocean breeze, comfortable bed, clean rooms It took a long time, almost 15 mins to get hot water for a shower and same as in sink. The faucets were reversed.

    Across the street from the ocean Very dated , needing a serious facelift, properly is 75 years old. Owner only does patch work, needs some love and care to this once proud property.
