Great hotel that was right on the beach for a reasonable price. The room was spacious enough for two adults and a three year old. We had an ocean view and a balcony and its own walkway to the beach from the hotel. We felt safe and the hotel staff were so nice, pleasant and welcoming. They were doing some construction, building a walkway from the main building to the pier that has the tiki bar and restaurant, and even though it was an eyesore, they worked reasonable hours so it wasn’t loud or annoying. We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night.
