It was pleasant since we visited other family members daily and dined at several restaurants

Easy access to restaurants and shopping The beach area was nice The room was okay,but the carpeting needed to be cleaned or replaced

I reserved an oceanfront room and didn't get it. We had a beach view on one side but the other side was of a parking lot filled with ice cream trucks and other commercial vehicles. Some were in disrepair and unsightly. Towel service was daily, but the sheets were not changed until the 4th night!! And the room wasn't vacuumed at all!

We had a wonderful trip and the hotel staff were awesome.

Room was great. Overall, proximities to beach and shops etc. were great. I would totally recommend to others and return again as guests. But next time I visit, I'll be sure to book early for the best room and price.

The spicket in tub wouldn't totally turn off which made shower spray kind of weak. No deal breaker. I didn't report the issue so can't tell you how they responded.

We will definitely be back again next summer…

Great location for a family who loves the beach and looking forward to a few or week of relaxing

I just wish they had a pool….

Good time during the day. No wifi at night had a negative effect on our stay.

Very short walk to the beach. Multiple restaurants within walking distance to eat.

Room was listed as having wifi. Wifi signal only worked right next to the door. Could not use the wifi comfortably.

not sure what the rest of the buildings look like but.... beware

Nothing really... the location was fine. I felt like the front desk attendant was kind and attentive. She did want us to know that we booked a room without an oceanview which was fine.

The room was in a basically dilapidated building. The screens on our windows had gaping holes and the window itself was open so it was very damp in the room. When you walk in, it doesn't look too bad at first but then, things like the window screens, strange big switches that you have no idea what it controls, bare bones(which would be fine, but then....) the bathroom was absolutely awful. The floor was coming up. The shower looked like something like a you would find at a campground. The mirror was pitted so badly, you couldnt really see in it. You would not want to leave any window open as it was pretty sketchy. The air conditioning began to smell like there would be an electrical fire. We turned it off- everything seemed damp and icky. I do not know if the other buildings were better but I would hope so. We could not wait to get out of there. The front desk agent said we got a great deal for $168 for a Sunday night in October..... I can't even... it was awful

Don't stay here

Honestly just the location.

The accommodation was disgusting, refrigerator and microwave didn't work after 2nd day after just touching microwave. Mold in bathroom, it was their second building they should just knock it down!! I have been here before in main building and it was find just dated. Now would never stay here ever again, would like a full refund!!

Ocean front. Easy access to beach

Over priced. Rooms smelled musty which is not uncommon on beach however upgrades needed to charge the fees. 4 nights was 2k.

Trip was ok because we were right on the beach and near everything but the hotel stay sucked big time and staff not frie

The only thing I like about this hotel is that it’s on the beach

The rooms are very outdated, the rooms smell, even the pillow cases and sheets had a bad smell. There’s bugs inside the rooms. The staff is not friendly.

Basic hotel at a great spot on the beach.

Location right on the beach. Ocean view was wonderful. Great beach.

Very basic room. The floor in the room was sandy, which isn’t surprising for a beach hotel, I guess, but it seems like it needed a vacuum.

Good location, this part of the hotel was terrible

The picture featured on your site showed a big spacious room with a big tub overlooking the ocean. The room was tiny. The beds tiny. The lighting poor. The TV poor. Most importantly was the cleanliness. There was a layer of sand all over the floor/ The bathroom was tiny. The room was OLD.

Maybe they could sweep the sand up off the floor?

Great weather, bad hotel.

Location was great

Advertised that they provide beach umbrellas, they had none we had to rent them. Room was never cleaned, towels weren’t changed (we asked them to change them), air conditioner was old and loud, binds in the bathroom were broken (no privacy), linoleum floor had a huge bubble warp, there was no closet just open area with a rack with hangers but fridge microwave, coffee pot and ironing board only left 4 inches of space to hang dresses.

Was not comfortable with my stay.

This is our third time staying at the property. Each time we stay here though our room value drops significantly every time we stay. The first time we stayed we had a top floor and a beautiful balcony. Then our most recent stay we could hear the pipes for an hour at a time when someone in the whole entire building would decide to shower. We would get waken up at 2-3 in the morning to someone showering. This experience was awful. Not to mention our air condition was not working which is not good for a hotel that’s at the beach.

Oceanfront room, you can hear the ocean and see the gorgeous sunrise. Looked like there was some painting done and new patio furniture. It needed a fresh coat convenient kitchenette

Can't say anything negative.

Pet friendly is the only reason why stay in this hotel.

We reserved the room at the last minute, although it is not much sea view on the first floor, but it is ok. The front desk staff is very kind and friendly.

floor mat needed deep clean or replace. The room smell like the wood get mouldy.
