Quiet while providing the basics. It's clean and easy to access. No continental breakfast or or beach access like the larger chains but the price is less than half. If you're just looking for a place to sleep, this is a good option.

The management is excellent. We had issues with our air conditioning. They were not able to fix the issue but allotted a different room all the while being extremely polite.
