Upon checking in and getting to our rooms we noticed quickly that the room didn't have AC at all, only a heater. The beds were hard and stiff, the pillows would flatten out when you laid down on them. The bathroom toilet was right next to the shower so when you step into the bath you hit your heels on the toilet. The water temperature was good but zero pressure. The walls are paper thin, you could hear people's conversations (thank god no one around us when we stayed wanted to get 'busy') We brought our dog with us, the pet fee was cheaper than most inns which was really nice but there was no designated pet area unfortunately. The room over-all I'll give a 4/10 stars. Nice enough place in a pinch if you want something cheap and is within walking distances of the local shops. Last but not least, the house keeper was really nice and sweet and did an amazing job at keeping our room clean.

I like the bright colors and ocean theme in the rooms. The bathroom and shower area are bright. The cost for my one night through Expedia was $58.00. At this price, it is a good value for the money.

Clean but tired room

Room was very clean, however mattress was very worn out and sagging badly, as were the easy chairs. Mini blinds in bathroom missing a couple slats, although this was not a privacy issue since the glass was frosted. Traverse curtains in bedroom area missing the strings
