To be honest the reviews on google scared me a lot. However it turned to be good. Close to the beach and the restaurants. The room was good enough, we just came to sleep for the night. I feel the rooms could get an update.

The room was VERY clean and we loved the pool and easy access to the beach. Staff was very attentive and helpful. The rooms are definitely showing their age and the beds were very uncomfortable.

Sehr gute Strandlage, sonst nicht empfehlenswert
Die Lage des Hotels ist gut. Direkt am Strand!
Unser Zimmer war sehr in die Jahre gekommen und renovierungsbedürftig. Typischer alter US Motel Style. Das Team war nett.
Wir waren dort auf durchreise. Für eine Nacht okay.

I loved the three pool options and the location. Everything was in walking distance so we never had to get back in our car. However the place is very dated. It could use a refresh for sure.
