The hotel rooms are spacious with full kitchen (appliances, dishes, utensils, etc.) and good size bathroom. Staff was helpful when we had minor issues like needing towels. I enjoy being in rooms without carpet flooring, so that was a plus for me. About a 15 minute drive from the beach. I would stay here again!

Elevator was broke the entire time and I was on the 4th floor. I had to carry bags up and down 4 flights of stairs every day. I also got stuck on the elevator when there was no out of order sign on the outside of the doors.

Just okay
Hotel was decent, rooms were clean but a bit small. The area wasn't the best but plenty of food options close by. I don't know if I would stay there again but you could do worse.
