Just an older hotel. Clean but nothing fancy. Wished for a coffee pot in the room. Lots of cobwebs around the windows- could use a good cleaning. For the price and location, I would do it again!

Old and tired

Based on the price amd pictures, I didn't have high expectations. Let's just say the place could use a makeover. But we were really only there to sleep and the bed was fine.

Liked: Staff & service
This place is ok, but it is dated and definitely past its prime. It has the bare minimum basics that one would need for a hotel room. Visible stains on the carpets, moldy shower curtains, dirty tile grout in the bathrooms and the toilet is so close to the wall, it’s almost impossible to sit on it. The room does have a mini fridge and microwave. The tv channel selection is not good, so don’t expect to rely on tv entertainment while there. The included breakfast is hardly anything and very, very sparse. Coffee, individually wrapped muffins, danishes and cereal bars - more so snacks than an actual breakfast. It has more of a motel vibe than a hotel. Pros: the staff was very friendly and nice. There’s a large park and beach basically next to the hotel. There are a handful of restaurant choices within walking distance. Room price was decent.

A place to stay.

It’s a place to stay. It was clean and the staff were friendly. Affordable and the view from the back patio is beautiful. It’s within walking distance of everything, which was nice. We’d stay here again!

We loved it!

We had a great time and we'll be back! This hotel is a time capsule from a bygone era. It is not fancy, but it has fantastic people, an incredible view of the Marina, and perfectly located to walk to many wonderful restaurants and shops. They also made accommodations for us to plug in our electric vehicle!
