“This beachfront property stands out as the only waterfront hotel in downtown, setting it apart with direct access to the beach and ocean views; its indoor pool area is generously sized, creating a comfortable and relaxed environment. While some areas show their age, I found the staff consistently friendly and the location exceptionally convenient for exploring local attractions. This could be a good option for families looking for a fun and accessible stay.”
