The room was okay for one night. It was little smelly. The person in the front desk was not friendly, but did his job. It was an open space with many spaces for parking. Air conditioner old and outdated, but the area is not extreme weather, so opening the sliding doors with fresh air kept it okay. Breakfast very simple: coffee and breads. In general is good for a short stay overnight with accessible prices for the area.

Liked: Staff & service
The downstairs rooms were quite dark. It was confusing as to when they would clean the room we checked in Friday they said day, three which seemed to be Sunday to us, but it wasn’t so we did not have clean towels or bathmat. The breakfast was very decent lots of choices for a small breakfast fruit yogurt, toast, waffles, coffee, and juice. We had a group of people and I wish there had been a room that we could’ve all gathered in to play games and visit the woman in the breakfast room, and the woman at the front desk were very friendly. The bed was very comfortable

Staff was great. Rooms need to be tended too better. First room we had we had to move out of because the Carbon Monoxide alarms kept going off when we turned on the fireplace. They pulled one off the wall to silence it and left us in there and then the one in the bedroom went off. Our next room had a light burned out over the coffee area and no freezer door. We paid over $600 for 2 nights. I expect more. The size of the room was exceptional! There was also rolled up discarded carpet in the hallway the whole time we were there. I will go back because of the fireplace and size of the rooms. Hopefully things will be better taken care of. Great location. Just a 5 min drive to the beach.
