Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was very courteous and helpful. I love the welcoming inclusion of the community that the hotel fosters. The location of the hotel with proximity to beach was great. The room is dated with some furnishings showed its age with rust spots visible. The cleaning staff needs to be aware of the noise being made while on duty. There were a lot of doors being slammed shut and banging while cleaning. This was disturbing while trying to sleep in.

Our toilet leaked onto the floor - the sliding glass door was so hard to open/close - we had earwigs in our room - how did I pay $400 a night for no refrigerator- incredibly dated and dingy - absolutely no idea this was a fully GAY hotel - the website was very misleading! Not very happy

Our balcony faced the beach and ocean, with part of view a restaurant across the way. There is a nice pool. We are seniors so no night club for us, and we were there mid-week. This hotel has been around a long time. The room is not fancy, just the basics, but the amenities the hotel offers make it more reasonably priced than other hotels in the area. Staff was helpful. Would be nice to have a microwave/fridge. Restaurants nearby served good food, we ate at Italian restaurant across the way, delicious.
