    Clean hotel

    Perfect little beachside hotel. Loved it!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The biggest issue I had was with the amount of light coming into the room at night. It had wooden blinds, but no curtains. Because of the amount of light coming from the street, I had a very rough night's sleep. Even some cheap black out curtains would have made a HUGE difference for me. Everything else, I could deal with. This is a bare bones hotel experience. The parking is underneath the rooms and is very tight, and there is only one way in and out. There were other minor issues, but overall it was fine if you can tolerate a lot of street light coming into your room at night.
