We have stayed here before and they changed the check in process. Unless we paid an extra $100 we could not check in before 4pm even if our room was ready. We went at 3:45 to stand in line to check in. 50 minutes later we received our room keys. Only to enter a room that was not ready. We had no towels, no shower curtain, and the beds weren’t made. It was clean but not put together. When we called for towels they took hours to get us what we needed that we used our beach towels for our showers. Our TV didn’t work half the time. The batteries in the remote died. A few days into our trip we asked for clean towels and wash cloths again because when they cleaned the room they didn’t replenish them. The man said he couldn’t give us any because we already had them. I explained we didn’t get any and he wanted all the old ones in return which we didn’t have because they took them. He was disgusted but gave us fresh towels. We had 3 rooms for our group and 1 room had no ac working. They asked for the ac key and there weren’t any left. The soda machine didn’t work and the ice machine was very dirty, moldy, and rusty. The smells in every hallway were putrid. A completely different experience than last and we will not be returning.

This property is exactly what it is. Very few frills and thrills. Comfy bed, easy access to boardwalk/beach/restaurants/bars/cages. Clean floors and bathrooms. Just really in need of some updating so Instagram influencers beware, the bathroom is not for selfies. But it does feel exactly like the bathroom in your grandmas house (needs some caulking, regrouting, etc.). Staff was excellent, cannot stress that enough. But the hallway did have a distinct odor, not a dirty one per say, and you couldn't smell it in the room, but it's a very distinct smell. It was a very good, affordable, beach front option. Just expect to get what you're paying for and you'll be content!

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, the property is in need of some major upgrades. The door handle to our bathroom was broken and the door was damaged. The floor was dated and needed to be replaced with some of non-grouted option as it made it look dirty.
