This is an older hotel but was decently clean. They have their own beach access which was easy to get to. They have a ramp and stairs to get up to the beach but several steps once you get to the top to get onto the beach which makes it hard for wagons etc. breakfast was included and was good. The lady in the breakfast area was always nice and kept the tables clean. Staff was frequently away from the front desk which was a little annoying but otherwise no issues for us during our stay. I would stay here again.
