This is a great place to stay with our small dog--it's easy to walk out the back and down to the beach. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for dog lovers.
Great area. Awesome for a walk down to the water
Main room super tidy and clean bathrooms sadly very old dirty and black mold around bath.

Enjoyed my stay only thing that was terrible was the shower. After a long hard day I wanted a nice shower but the pressure of the shower was very weak and it would go really hot for couple seconds then back to normal temperature
Room was nice and tidy, could do with a fan/air circulation in the bathroom. My boys enjoyed their swim while there. TV in the room should have been more in the middle maybe attached to the wall on a bracket. Not much to watch on TV due to not many channels to access. But overall very nice, comfortable and friendly staff.
