Affordable

The staff was very friendly and informative. The room was clean and hotel was close to everything. Beds were very comfy. The walls seemed thin as you can hear everything outside and in the employee room next to us. The tv worked fine but was fairly small for a hotel room. Shower doors were missing a seal and water leaked out on the sides.

Clean and well maintained property. Adequate room amenities and comfortable bed. Few blocks from the marina, beach, park. Restaurant across the building open 24hours (Denny’s). Perfect place to stay in for a quick weekend getaway. Staff very strict with check out time. Pool small and too deep for little ones. No hot tub and no bath tub in the room. No big deal for us. Overall experience excellent! Will book again for sure.
