The only positive feedback I can give was that the room was clean. The sliding glass door would not lock. We immediately brought it to the attention of the front desk staff. We were told they’d bring up a bar to put in the door, if they could find one. Never received it or heard back from management! The bathroom is VERY small. The pics on line are deceiving. The air conditioning didn’t work properly. Even at the discounted rate through Expedia, the room was grossly overpriced. The chairs on the beach, are old and some are falling apart. The elevator was another issue, other guests were also complaining about it in the hallway.

Beds were uncomfortable. Parking garage was extremely small and hard to maneuver in. Ended up parking across the street which hotel charged an additional fee to do so. Elevator was small. Easy access to beach however the boardwalk had numerous nails sticking up. Seemed dirty around the access and a group of possible workers hung out in the parking garage near beach access. Did not feel comfortable at all.

Wi Fi did not work the whole time we were there. My husband cut his arm pretty bad on the pool gate and no first aid kit was offered. The manager only gave him 1 band aid. Luckly, I had a first aid kit in my car. It felt like the staff did not care at all that a quest got hurt on their property.
