Budget hotel that's a 5 minute drive from the beach. No complaints. Great place if you're not picky and just looking for a place to stay at while visiting the area.

My friend and I stayed here the night of March 27, 2026 and again the night of April 5, 2026. He accidentally left his journal in the room when he left the first time. He called the hotel the next day, the desk clerk said they had it. My friend asked them to hold it for him to pick up the following week. The second stay did not produce the journal. The desk clerk Poopie knew nothing of its whereabouts, said housekeeping would follow up the next day, but housekeeping wasn't available to check lost and found. My friend left his phone number and address, with no follow-up call forthcoming from the hotel. He called and spoke with desk clerk Jared who said he would follow up. A second call to Jared resulted in his not knowing the journal's whereabouts. The hotel has a written policy of their lost and found procedures, which indicate they have a high quality and secure system of holding and returning lost belongings to guests.

Room is clean and updated but many of the outlets do not work or do not adequately hold a charger. The EV chargers at the property are all out of service which is one of the main reasons we booked here. The pool is very small. Next time I will pay the extra money to stay at a nicer hotel.

I booked this hotel through Agoda after seeing a listing clearly stating the room included two queen beds. However, when I arrived, the room only had one full bed. I immediately contacted the front desk and showed them my booking confirmation, which clearly indicated two queen beds. Instead of resolving the issue, the front desk staff insisted that because I paid $81, it could only be for one full bed. The interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional, even after I provided proof of my reservation. It was already 10:00 PM, and I didn’t want to continue arguing late at night, so I reluctantly stayed in the room. Unfortunately, the cleanliness was also unacceptable. There was hair on the bed, visible blood stains on the curtains, and mold in the shower. Based on my experience, I would not recommend staying here.

Stayed here on January 20th, the fridge was too loud at night and I found a woman's shoe strap, so the maids obviously don't clean the room that often. The owner made my checkout inconvenient by asking me to go inside the office versus just giving him the key through the window I went up to. I thought he really wanted to know how my stay was but they asked me to leave a review, so here it is... Sorry it's not the review you want.
