Hotel was pretty good. Service was good. Breakfast was great. No pool or any communication pool was being redone at time of our stay. We would have probably stayed elsewhere had we known this. Overall it was good but thought some sort of discount should have been given for not having pool as advertised.

We were surprised by how good this hotel was although it seemed more like a motel at first. The staff were very helpful and friendly and even offered to drive us to the beach.

Staff were well above average. Breakfast hot dishes varied each day and the cook... More

Clean, conveniently located. There's a shopping center just down the street in case you forget something. Comfy beds. All rooms have a mini-fridge, microwave & dvd player which is really nice. The rooms have the sink/vanity separate from the toilet/shower which I always love! The free continental breakfast was good. Yummy scones & frittata. My frustration was that they only... More
