Close to beach but no resort.
Pretty nice. Was expecting worse based on other reviews. Our room was very clean and presentable. Overall hotel was dated but trying to get there. Bar/front restauarnt wasn't open. The resort fee us a joke you have to pay it for breakfast and a bottle of water per day. The breakfast was hard to get find in another building and line out the door. Not worth the wait or resort fee. It's no resort.

We loved how kind all of the staff was! It's a quaint little hotel on the main stripe, across from the beach and close to all of the action in town...we didn't have to walk far to get to all of the site and restaurants.

I loved the decor and attention to details. Staff was excellent. The elevator was broken twice so that we had to carry our bags down from the 3rd floor. I chose your facility because you had an in house bar and breakfast. You really need to let bookings know that neither of those are at your facility. Seems misleading. Your staff saved the rating with cleanliness and trying to be helpful.

The property is located in a very convenient location close to the beach, dining places, shops, etc. Rooms are little small and don't expect a luxury experience in this hotel. It's good for stopover stay for few nights. Overall I would recommend this hotel to stay on Ocean Drive in a budget.
