A solid value for what it is. Nothing luxury, but it was clean, the beds were comfortable, the AC worked and the water was hot. Good value for a one night stay on our trip down the coast.

Great location. Room was clean and the person checking us in was very friendly. Had two minor issues, first they only stocked two towels even though the reservation was for four people. We then ran completely out of body wash in the shower after only three people showered. Not major issues but inconvenient as I had to make multiple trips back to the office to remedy. Other than that the stay was fine and a good value.
