easy walks helpful staff

the location allows easy walks to both town and beach, a real bonus for me. a supermarket just next door was super useful for getting snacks. the staff was also helpful when i checked in and out, i find it charming.

my room, it got very warm, and there was no fan. leaving the windows open wasn't an option because of noise from the evening entertainment.

Solid Choice for Coastal Stay

fantastic location efficient staff breakfast buffet

The hotel location near the town was excellent. The beach was directly across the road. A supermarket was conveniently nearby for snacks and drinks. Staff handled check-in and check-out efficiently. The breakfast buffet offered several choices. I appreciate the hot options.

The paid parking felt unnecessary, since the room rate should have included it. The walls were quite thin. Noisy neighbors woke me up a few times. I hope this is addressed.

Acceptable But With Issues

small room uncomfortable beds

The staff was helpful during check-in.

The room was smaller than I expected for a family room. The beds were not very comfortable, and the noise from other rooms and the hallway made it difficult to sleep (doors slamming shut at all hours!).
