Close to the beach, clean room. They called me the second day to ask if we needed anything! There aren't really any amenities or even a waiting room, but the space was great for the price we paid.
Excellent location to beach and OHV areas. Peaceful location. Mexican restaurant and convenience store right next door. Nice staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
I booked the room based off the photos and I feel that they were very misleading. They did not represent what the property actually looked like. It wasn't terrible, but not like the photos. I also feel like it was priced higher than it should have been for what it was, I have stayed in nicer for less. I am not familiar with the area, as I had never visited before, but it seemed high.
It was great to have a room with a kitchen. Staff was professional and polite, very close to the beach.

Per hotels.com rating was 9.0...expected more, it was just a room to sleep..room was clean, bed comfortable...no place to sit and relax...would not rate a 9..
Absolutely no place to hang clothes, not even a hook! Had a king bed, but only one nightstand. The sink was separate from the shower and tub. Typical amenities were provided on the wall in the shower. However, there was no soap available for the sink. The room was clean and the bed was pretty comfortable. We would not stay there again.
Dusty floors dirty shampoo and body wash dispensers did not work cons construction workers took up A lot of parking three vehicles for one room parking was tight
Rooms looked they had just been renovated. Clean and comfortable. Good restaurant across the street and a convenience store next store. Josh at the front desk was welcoming and very helpful. Rates were great. I will be booking again in the future.
This was the perfect getaway, less than a mile to the beach. Affordable. Comfy beds. Nice staff who upgraded us to a downstairs unit as it was difficult for us to climb stairs, which included a free upgrade from double beds to queen beds. Housekeeping staff was very kind and understanding, as we did get a stomach illness during our trip & had to leave the room in a less than desirable condition. All around, would stay here again.

Smallest least comfortable room.
Smallest room ever. One chair, no desk or table. Asked for a second chair. Grudgingly gave us a second very odd uncomfortable chair. No closet! Not one single hook anywhere to hang ANYTHING. inadequate lighting. Fan in bathroom needs replacing. Rattles and bangs. Only 2 paper cups for drinks and coffee. Not enough plugins for phones and chargers. No ice machine. Manager unfriendly. Young lady who checked me in was very pleasant. Room not cleaned between the two days of our stay. Asked for a do not disturb sign thinking they might actually clean the room each day which they did not. Grumpily told they didn’t have any such thing. Only positive was it was a clean room when we arrived.
