Great value. The room was just fine considering we only use hotels to sleep when we are on vacation. The beach down the street allows fires. We had one on our last night and it was great.

Parking was ok if you had a compact vehicle,the spaces were a little narrow. Some of the staff was friendly. The rooms were good size if you are just going to sleep and be out all day. We had a nice mini fridge and microwave which worked great. We had a sink that dripped water all day. The restroom was a good size. The AC worked perfect. Over all it met our needs.

Ok for this price range. The rooms are old (knobs falling off of drawers) and so is the air conditioning. The level of cleanliness doesn’t hold up to close inspection, but is again ok. There is adequate parking. There are no elevators. There is indeed a free simple continental style breakfast.

Two night travel with little kids. Floor and countertops were dirty. When I asked for cleaning wipes or to have someone empty our trash staff said they only do service every other day. Parking was tight and breakfast was mediocre. Would not stay here again.
