It was convenient to park your car for the weekend and never have to get back in it until you go to leave. The shops and places to eat and the beach are right there so that is convenient. The reason I give a one star or terrible is because the beds are so bad that you can’t sleep. I ended up sleeping on the couch two nights. The shower is way too small and you bang your head and elbows off the shampoo and soap dispensers.

we liked the location; we were only a 3-minute walk to the beach. Free parking, all the dining & shops were about a 10-min walk. Our favorite restaurant to eat was about a 10-minute walk. The bed in our room was rather difficult for us. (we're seniors). The bed was sitting a bit high & we needed a stool for my wife. The bed was also against the wall on one side, so you were only able to get out of bed on one side. I'm pretty sure there were other rooms that would have been more suitable for someone in our age group. But we Loved the area we were staying. I would recommend staying here.

For this hotel, you are only there for the convenience to the beach, which is very convenient. You are literally a few steps from the beach. But that's it. There is no cooling at all: no a/c, not even ceiling fans. It gets very hot in the room. The noise is unbelievable from the main street right next to the hotel. And the beds are very small and very uncomfortable. My wife and I barely fit on the bed without any room to move. It has a small kitchen which is nice but the heat is too much. The rooms are old with some remodeling but at least ceiling fans would help alot. and one of the beds is in the living room. The room was ocean view, but barely since there is another hotel right next to it that blocks most of the view. The price you pay is just for the location. I would not stay here again.
