The tv screen welcomed me into the room. The bed was comfy, breakfast was delicious with many good options, and the coffee was good black. I would definitely stay again. Literally right down the road to beach.

Don’t stay in room 146. It is across the hallway from housekeeping. At 7am I was awakened by houskeeping staff talking loudly and laughing. I arrived very late and needed to get some sleep and it was impossible.
