We took the kids and grandkids on trip here and stayed 3 nights. Was an inexpensive room for a. Cost conscious trip. Upon arriving at the hotel I was not impressed as the hotel looked older but upon going up the stairs the rooms were beautiful. The staff was super helpful and polite during our stay. The walk to the ocean is just over a quarter mile but could be seen from the 3rd floor balcony. Would definitely stay here again!

The person working the front desk was AMAZING!! Only a 5 min walk to the beach and lots of restaurants around. The room was very clean. The only negitive we found was the snack machine was basically empty and there is no stores right next to it

Room was a decent size and the bed was super comfortable. The bathroom was big, but the showerhead is mounted in the ceiling which results in water getting all over the floor which I’d have to use all the towels to dry up. The floors weren’t mopped so we had to wear flip flops or our feet would immediately be dirty, but that sort of makes sense in a beach town. The staff was super nice and friendly

For an older hotel, I was pleasantly surprised how clean, updated, and spacious our room was. The water stayed hot for two showers with plenty of water pressure. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. I would stay anytime I'm in the sunset beach area.
