Reserved this on short notice to attend the Country Calling Festival, and it suited our needs very well. Convenient location and very helpful staff. Facility was a bit dated, but that was to be expected with this type of beach hotel. All went smoothly with check-in and everything else, including ample parking so that wasn't a worry despite the event in town. Definitely happy with the last minute choice and stay again.

The location and beach access was perfect for our stay. My only complaint is the claim of a fully stocked kitchen. The appliances were clean and in working order, but if you are planning on doing much cooking in your room the utensils, pots, and pans left a little to be desired.

Cleaning staff is non existent. Had to track down towels everyday and even when we had "please service" on the door, it wasn't done at 4pm. For over $200 a night, I will stay elsewhere next time.
