Easy access to the beach and heated pool. The room was outdated with dark carpeting, too soft unsupportive mattress and worn toilet seat.

Definitely outdated, but the location cannot be beat. Super quick walk to Short Sands Beach and local restaurants and shops. Room was tired, no bathroom ventilation, missing outlet covers, very old a/c heat unit. Fountain in the pool was broken, so, in its place, there is an arcing pvc pipe throwing a hard spray of water into the pool. Small pool was murky for all three days we were there, so we didn't go in it. No coffee in the room or lobby. Narrow stairs to access second level (no elevator). It was a comfortable room but in definite need of updating. Not sure I'll stay here again, especially for what I paid.

This property is so convenient if you want to be close to the beach. Staff was super friendly. Rooms are a bit small and mattresses could be updated. Other than that, I’d definitely stay here again.
