Great location 3 minute walk from the pier and several shopping and dining options. The property was nice for an affordable room. The room included a stove which would be nice if you were prepared to cook. It’s a nice basic clean room. The only real complaint is the bright lights on the exterior hallways that make the room seem like it’s daytime in the middle of the night. The little blinds don’t do much to keep the light out. Our room was pretty small so that light affected all of us.

Dog Friendly caveat

Watch out, "pet friendly" means that there is a $50/night/dog charge which you don't find out until you get there.
