Check-in was easy, the room was clean with a large bathroom. There were several nice features - big TV, refrigerator, microwave, toiletries. The one thing that was not acceptable was the location. Noise level (traffic) was loud.

Liza

Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This inn is very basic but likely stays busy due to its prime location near the beach. The bed was decent, and our second-floor room had a back balcony entrance. However, noise was an issue-motorcycles passing by were loud, and housekeeping started vacuuming in neighboring rooms around 9/10 AM, which made it hard to rest. The bathroom was minimally stocked with just lotion and body was-no bar soap. The shower drained slowly, and the water temperature fluctuated between lukewarm and cold, possibly due to other guests using hot water at the same time. suitable if you're just looking for a spot to sleep and don’t need many amenities. Breakfast not included.
