It was exactly what we needed for a quick one night stay. No frills, but a clean, comfortable, affordable place to stay for the evening that was also close to other hotels, restaurants, and the beach.

Terrible hotel/service
There was no one there when we arrived to check, had to call someone to check in. We stayed two nights, no new towels, no clean sheets or housekeeping - no one literally on site. I attempted to reach out 3 times to report a bath sink stopped up/unusable - no phone calls returned. Very poor business set up.
