Verified review

6/10 Good

Our stay was good. Staff was very friendly. They have housekeeping daily which we thought was a thing of the past especially for short visits. The hotel itself is definitely on the older side with very small and dated rooms with few outlets. We had no troubles with cleanliness however friends that were traveling with us did have concerns with their room leading us to believe it may have been an issue in the past that had been resolved. Would recommend for a short visit but not a long beach vacation.
