I mean it was fine , it was close to everything we wanted to do.
Cons:

The furniture was a bit out date and the linings where just fitted sheets covering the mattress so when you slept the sheets would move and you ending up sleeping on the plastic mattress cover.

Close, convenient and easy.
Pros:

The staff are friendly and attentive. The place is a bit worn out, but comfortable, especially when traveling with a pet. The location is convenient, plenty of parking, and a grassy lawn out back to sit.

Cons:

The rooms could be cleaner, but again, perfect for a family simply using this as close access to the beach.

No positive comments to share
Cons:

The online pictures are very misleading and don’t honestly represent the room in which we stayed.
The room has not been updated in many years and was not what I would expect for the price.
I feel that I have been fooled.
I chose this place to support a local establishment over a chain and it seems that I got the bad end of the deal.
Never again
I would not recommend this place to anyone
