While the exterior looks outdated, the view from the beachfront room made the experience worth the stay. The staff was great. There was a bonfire on the beach with smores one night and live music by the pool each evening. The only complaint was the shower, which lacked pressure. Overall, would stay again based on experience and price difference from some of the neighboring hotels.

We stayed for 5 days and came home yesterday. We did not have a working phone in our room. We had to request towels every day. They did not pick up any of our towels the entire stay (5 days of dirty wet towels). They did not clean our room, change the sheets, sweep the sandy floor, or empty our trash the entire stay. I complained every single day. Will not stay here agaim

I liked the walk out room to the beach. Check in was at 4 showed up at 4:30 and room still wasn’t ready, didn’t check in until almost 6 and I had to go ask them when my room would be ready because I had 4 cranky kids from a long car ride. Will not stay again.

We had a very pleasant experience staying here. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived so we were given a parking pass and told we could use the facilities and beach access while we waited. Our room was just steps from the beach. We'd definitely stay here again!

Bathroom- seriously needs to be updated. Was catfished in to thinking our room had a kitchen and arrived to it not being ready and not having a kitchen. We planned this trip around the idea of having a kitchen- we have a four month old. The beds were comfortable, very much actually. The location- perfect. The proximity to the beach- perfect. (First floor ocean view). Air conditioner was ice cold. Loved that. The rooms need a broom. There is sand everywhere after one trip to the beach and no way to clean it up daily, which means it’s in the beds, the showers, literally everywhere. No elevators and the parking is on third floor. Keep that in mind with kids and luggage. The first floor is convenient but a lot of work to go anywhere with a stroller or multiple kids. You have to pay for ice which was strange. The tiki bar restaurant at the pool is delicious and you get a decent amount of food.

Room is great for a budget beachfront night the shower was missing the curtain, coffee maker was missing parts. Only 3 towels for four pple......I'm sure I could have went to the desk and resolved these issues, but for a night it wasn't worth it. My hub didn't like that the walls were dirty, needed to be painted. I didn't like that the pool wasn't lit at night, so it was dark. Then again, for an overnight on the beach it suited it's purposes, I wouldn't stay there for a week, a night is fine
