Guests often chose this property when they wanted to have budget-friendly beach vacations. They felt the rates were among the least expensive available, so if cost is a concern to you, this property is a smart choice for a no-frills but sufficient stay.

Guests loved the location of the property. Situated within walking distance of the beach, the property is also close to the downtown area, according to guest reviews. Many reported that they were able to check out the area without having to depend on their cars.

Many guests complained about a variety of foul smells in their rooms. The odors ranged from strong cigarette smoke to pet-related smells and a musty scent that guests said seemed related to the age of the hotel. If you are sensitive to strong smells, this property may not be a good choice, especially since the smells seemed common to all the rooms and not just a few.

Guests mentioned that the beds are lumpy and hard. Getting a good night's sleep was difficult, and guests thought the mattresses should really be replaced because they are a very negative part of the accommodations.

Guests gave the opinion that the hotel seems stuck in a time warp because it is so outdated. Most didn't think the dated factor would prevent them from coming back, but they said the old appearance was a definite downside that tarnished their overall thoughts about the property.
