    Experience seaside tranquility just minutes from the beach, with clean, refreshed rooms and thoughtful amenities.
"Pool was open and, while small, it was clean and refreshing. The woman at the front desk was very kind and helpful - made me feel welcome. The property itself is a bit outdated but it looks like they are working to update it. the room was very clean and comfortable for our family of 3. Only issue was the AC system was VERY loud and woke me up every 20 minutes when it went off. I had to shut it off around 3 am and try to salvage my nights sleep. Not sure if this is all rooms or just bad luck on...
