This is where we stay the night before a cruise. It’s close and convenient. It’s an older “Motel” that has been semi remodeled repainted whatever you wanna call it. The sheets were clean the floors and sinks and bathrooms were clean and it’s an exceptional right for the night.
barebone lodging option, good bang for the buck. Convenient location to the ocean and just 20 min walk to cruise terminals (we ended up hailing a uber anyway but definitely walkable for the energetics). To the east of the hotel, there are several wallet-friendly dining options, we enjoyed the little family Italian pizza place, apparently it is also a favorite among the locals.

Not fancy but clean and everything works. Great value right on the beach!
Found a cockroach in our room when we walked in. The floor was kind of gross. It was right next to the beach which was alright.

Great price for a hotel room that close to the beach. Awesome view and beautiful sun rises on the ocean in the mornings. Friendly and helpful staff. Everyone is going to have a different opinion and there are many people that just like to complain about anything but its based on your experience. I had my 2 little girls and we had a great time!
