This hotel is a little older, but it's completely worth the cost if you want a nice large heated pool & to have the beach steps away. The room had a mini kitchen which was nice, good water pressure and plenty of hot water as well. I will be returning.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean. We had two rooms. One room had an A/C problem. It didn't work. Maintenance came and fixed the problem. The shower in that room did not work either. We were forced to take a bath. We reported it but it didn't get fixed. The other room had mold around the tub which we didn't get around to reporting. The hotel is old and not fancy, but it was generally clean and we thought it had a lot of character. We would stay there again.

The hotel was very dated, which I expected going in for the price. The issue I had was when we arrived, there were bags of trash piled around the doorway outside. One of the beds had a giant, round, wet pee looking stain on the comforter that soaked thru to the mattress. The room was damp and had water puddled in the floor. The front desk staff that helped me leave immediately was helpful and friendly. The girl who checked us in, not so much.
