"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"
