I encountered many staff members during our stay, and they were all very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful! The room was clean and nice. We enjoyed the pool/hot tub space. Very close proximity to the Navy base and the beach. Not a ton to do in the near vicinity, but we enjoyed our stay.

The rooms are a little dated but good breakfast, coffee always available and RIGHT near the beach (5-10 min walk) and the Base very nearby - hugely convenient. The folks that work there are really friendly and helpful.

The rooms are always super clean! The front desk staff has amazing customer service, and the lady in charge of breakfast is such a sweet person, always smiling and super helpful. Then you add that you are 5 mins walking from the beach, perfect location!!!

Solid, pleasant stay. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and the bed let me sleep well after a long day. The staff were friendly and helpful and made check-in smooth. The included breakfast had good variety and got my day started right. The location was convenient to the beach and local restaurants. No surprises, just a dependable, comfortable place to stay.

This place was a decent stop for what it offers, coffee was available at all hours. They had free breakfast. It was a simple in their offerings. The breakfast ladies where super kind. The location and proximity to the pier and other sights was super close. Checkin and out wasn't too painful. Rooms where super clean. The exterior needs a face-lift. But overall it's a great value. Beds were comfortable.
