My stay was great! A little skeptical at first but was at ease after meeting staff and seeing room. For the price I was expecting something a lil less than what I got. Area was nice and peaceful. Room was very accommodating and clean. Will look forward to staying again if or when I’m back in the area.

As noted by others, this is an older hotel but it has been well tended and is exceptionally clean and cared for. It's a short walk to the bay beach. It's a basic hotel room in a residential area. For the price and location, we were very pleased.

The outside looks a little outdated but inside the rooms are cozy and quite nice. It was the outside that concerned me. I walked to a nearby McDonald's and saw several sketchy individuals wandering around, one was screaming gibberish at a library window. When I walked to the beach (which is easy walking distance so that's a plus) another started following me until she realized I was watching her so she scurried off. The hotel was great, just keep your head on a swivel if you go for a walk.
