“This hotel is very quiet, VERY clean, the man who checked us in at 10pm was so sweet and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast has essentials, coffee, yogurt, banana, juice, bagels, muffins and a waffle maker (very tasty). Good price for how clean and nice the place is, especially since it is literally 10feet from a small section of beach that is lovely! Would stay here again!!”

Explain to you that just acquired the hotel and hopefully by next year it’ll be fully remodeled, especially the second floor.
