It's exactly what you expect and a good price for the area. Room stay nice and cold with the air conditioner. The balcony on the Upper Floor was really nice to have. Not much to it very simplistic and the front desk staff was great

Dirty place, yellow stains on the bed and sheets, hair everywhere including the bed, sink, and shower. The owner was nice enough to let us switch rooms, but no one was able to sleep after that. Spent $150 for one night. Should’ve shopped around a bit more. There’s better hotels for that price imo.

You get exactly what you pay for. It wasn’t “clean clean”, but for $60 a night with a seawall view, we will be returning. The family staff was very friendly and we felt safe. Thank you so much!

This place is in a really great location across from an Italian restaurant and right next door to several bars. The staff was super friendly and the view was perfect. It's nothing fancy but if you just want to hang out at the beach it's perfect

It was clean, the AC worked fine and parking was ok. Some minor things that we observed were no toilet paper holder, bathtub shower faucet dripping constantly, no closet or hook to hang clothes on and no regular pillows on the bed, but the decorative ones were comfortable and no Kleenex. Also, had to get someone from the office to set up the TV and if you turned it off, you had to have someone come set it up again.
