OK for resting head / sleeping and location is fantastic
Pros:

The location is great!

Cons:

It’s very basic hotel and ok for solo traveling. The staff aren’t the friendliest and zero help with moving bags to the room and zero niceties. Overall it’s OK stay if you’re just sleeping there, but be warned the fridge is really loud at night!

Clean, modest motel. Definitely not a hotel feel.
Pros:

Location was great and convenient.

Cons:

More of a motel feel than expected - while seemingly clean, didn’t feel fully safe or clean.

Awful
Pros:

I would like a full refund this was an awful experience from the service to my room flooding with sewage then moved me to a differnet room. The internet doesnt work need to use your hotspot on cell phone and rooms are gross and beds are horrible.

This is a phenomenal little in close to everything you want in a beach community
Pros:

Very clean and updated. Close to the beach, shops, and restaurants.

If I had to nitpick something, the showers are older and the shower head is too low for tall person.
