“The location offers convenient access to the beach and the added bonus of a fishing pier is a pleasant surprise; inside, the AC is strong and tile floors are a smart choice for sandy feet. While updates are needed, especially in the bathrooms, the friendly desk staff contribute to a positive experience. It's adequate for a brief stay.”
