Hotel isn’t a 5 star resort or anything, if you go in with the right expectations you’ll be happy. We had a beach walk up room, which was on the first floor with the pool directly in front of it. Convenient to get to beach, and it’s on the west end, more quiet part of the beach which we liked. Facilities could use an update because things definitely show their age, but for the price it’s acceptable
