A Charm Experience Near the Beach

beach locationonsite bikesclean roomfriendly staff
The location near the beach was a win for me. They had bikes available and that was super cool. The room had necessary items, and everything was clean. The staff were friendly and gave helpful advice.
The walls felt thin, and it got a little noisy sometimes.

The location was good near the beach. The rooms were clean and also tidy. I got a good deal for the area.
The check in desk looked scruffy. The beds were smaller than advertised. The hotel online looked like a nice hotel, but arriving, I saw it was a basic motel.
