This place is in need of a renovation. I don't think anything has been done to this property since it opened. When I came and got my room key I opened up the door and they haven't even cleaned the room pizza boxes on the floor unmade beds. I didn't even want to stay there after that

This hotel was terrible. It was old, nasty, and shady. We had to ask for a new room because how disgusting the first room they gave us. The breakfast was also disgusting. If you can afford to pay more to stay somewhere else, i would highly recommend it.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Room was quaint and very clean. Pools are amazing, beautiful ocean view, and attached restaurants, Rick's and Gaido's were outstanding. Breakfast was great, too. Don't waste your money on large, chain hotels, this place is relaxing and appears to be staffed by very friendly, kind locals.

It was just ok. The site is just old. The view is good, but not a lot of viable amenities during this time of year. Breakfast was slightly odd.

Very dirty. Everything on the property was dirty. People staying here were very questionable. My husband was incredibly unhappy with me for choosing this place to stay. I recommend staying anywhere but here. I tried to support local businesses but next time I will spend the money for a better stay elsewhere.

This hotel was the best I’ve stayed at. Best part of the stay was the breakfast! How relaxing it is to wake up and go eat some good breakfast. And the pool was really clean and nice and they have vending machines if you need a snack and bowling area for the kids to play and the rooms were clean and how nice it was to take a bath in the perfect hot water they had in the rooms. Will definitely stay here again.

The location of the hotel is directly across the road from the beach. Hotel is of older age, but the room was decorated with character and was comfortable. Enjoyed the chairs outside on the balcony. The free breakfast offered the next morning made this place a true gem to stay at. The ladies in the breakfast room were welcoming and the choice of breakfast foods were amazing. I hope those ladies are there the next time we visit. They are the true charm of the hotel.
