Property is located in front of the beach and is very accessible to domain Avenue. Hotel was very clean and in good working order. Needs more attention at the front desk in the field of hospitality. Not very friendly

Humidity through the roof!
The location is great. Beach front. The rooms are outdated but they try their best. A lot of moisture in the room. Wet walls and floors. Showers old and moldy. Beds were clean and comfortable. Good place if just to sleep and rest.

It was very convenient to the reunion that I was going to. I would stay there again. The TV was a little hard to figure out but I didn't stay there to watch TV, so there is that. The coffee and muffins in the office were actually pretty good too. Nice folks!!!

Room was on the small side so we felt cramped. Shower pressure was minimal. The king sized bed was comfortable. TV was to small for the room so had a hard time seeing it from the bed. Great location though! Price was good for what we got.
