"Clean the rooms, very helpful stuff, plenty of parking, coin off laundry available. Property is little older, but everything worked fine, our bedding was comfortable and clean., We have plenty of towels, and when we needed more, there was no problem with that. Swimming pool is not operating so if you’re looking for swimming facilities, you probably won’t like it.. but we were very happy to stay at the hotel because it was nice clean and quiet. It is also very close to the swimming area of the beach to all the grocery stores to downtown to art gallery and cafés."
