All rooms have a flat-screen cable TV, work desk, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. Kitchenette rooms add a portable 2-burner stove and basic cookware, suitable for light meal preparation. The property shows signs of age: some rooms have older furnishings, worn carpet, or loose outlets, and room conditions can vary. No rooms have ocean views or balconies-the building is set behind other structures, with bay views from certain rooms. Connecting rooms are available on request. Accessible rooms with roll-in showers are offered. The ample room size is a standout feature, accommodating families or groups comfortably.

The hotel does not have a restaurant, bar, or breakfast service. However, the surrounding area offers numerous casual and sit-down dining choices, including Italian, seafood, pizza, and fast food, all within 0.5 km. Nearby options include Gabriella's Italian Grill, Cap'n Roy's, and McDonald's. A taco restaurant is also located within the same building. For self-catering, rooms with kitchenettes allow meal preparation, and a grocery store is a short walk away.

The hot tub flows into the pool, helping keep the water warm even in cooler weather. The fitness centre is small but free to use. No spa or other wellness facilities are present. The pool area can become busy, and its cleanliness has been noted as variable; the pool is not heated separately.
