Blessed because you can’t put a price tag on a pie
Greatest staff I have ever encountered. I travel a lot for work & I stay in places all across this country. Not the newest place but we were here for the Beach. We will be coming back see you next year.

This is an aging facility but it's still going and hanging in there. Still needs continuous renovations and better linens. However, it is priced accordingly and affordable compared to other choices in the area so that's a win.

It's definitely an older place & very basic, but it was clean & comfortable enough. The man at check-in was very kind & friendly. It does have a small microwave & refrigerator, which was not mentioned in the description I had read about it. Bring your own hangers if you want to hang things up.

Room wasn’t ready at checking time. Things were left in refrigerator and personal items in bathroom. Only old key locks for rooms and some tried to open my door at midnight. They had a key. Luckily I had the chain and doorstop on. Worst hotel through orbits I’ve ever stayed at.

There is not a good hand hold for the stairs in one area. I was holding onto a piece of wood and it came off in my hand. I almost fell down the stairs.
