Pros. Loved the vintage vibe. Perfectly comfortable and the staff was very helpful

10Wonderful
Marie, Sep 2017

Pros. It was so incredibly close to the beach! It was a full kitchenette, a refrigerator bigger than I've ever seen in any hotel or motel, microwave, large flat panel TV with cable, clean beds, quiet and close to everything!

Cons. I wish the pool opened a little earlier but I appreciate the quiet hours.

Pros. Consierge named Pam was extremely helpful and flexible with our check in and check out.

Cons. Just because the architecture is from the doo whop era doesn't mean the mattress, bedding, and poolside amenities need to be 50 y/o. Who thought Faux Palm trees were a good idea?
