Location was across the street from ocean so that was nice; however, the room and facilities were tired looking, worn and outdated. Great location but needs a good remodel.

Staff was great, bed and bedding was okay- comfy but could use an upgrade. The bathroom though…. Neither of us wanted to even shower in it. Very highway motel vibes. The location is too fabulous not to upgrade the bathrooms!!
