Fishing for good location
Check in is at 3:00 pm, check out at 10:00 am, also pool is closed by 6:00 pm, the mattress of the bed was a bit hard for us, we liked our breakfast at the cafe.

Such a great oceanfront hotel with a large pool to use if you don’t feel like walking to the beach. Check-in was easy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. One parking spot per room. The room was a nice size efficiency with a pull out couch and a bedroom. They provided toiletries and the room was clean. Would definitely stay again.

Check in was easy and the girl working the front desk was one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. The room is a little small, but my boyfriend and I don’t mind. 😊

Just ok
This hotel needs some updating. The bathroom is dark and dingy. No handsoap to be found. The bodywash was 1oz tiny tube for 4 people. The sheets and blankets had stains on them. I paid 1300$ for 2 nights so I don’t think I’m asking for too much.

Great experience at this hotel. Wish the room was a bit bigger or was even a suite but it did the job. Needed a table and couch in order to relax more comfortably
Hopefully my next stay will be better
