8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly. Great location on the beach and nice pool. We would have preferred a microwave in the room but there was one available along with washer and dryer access that we used while there. Only negative is that we booked online instead of with the hotel directly and we were not given the stay 7 pay for 5 rate.

Comfortable and solid room, 2 second walk from to and from the beach and deep pool, communal room was a little far, no microwaves in room but includeds fridge and coffee machine, sugar and creamer in office. Sheets were a little uncomfortable and we couldn't figure out why the floor was always damp but I believe it was the room humidifier turned up to much

The ocean was visible from our room. The room was "older" but clean and a great location. We added another night because we loved hearing the waves crash on the beach! Will stay again.

This quaint beach hotel was everything the doctor ordered. Reasonably priced, right on the ocean. The room was comfortable, good shower. My only drawback was the mattress was a hard sleep. We could feel the springs and all woke up a little sore. The room was very clean and modern. Nice having the pier so close. The restaurant was good but quite pricey, better meals can be found inland .
