This is an older hotel, nothing fancy at all! If you looking for luxury, go somewhere else. If you’re looking for something decent and beach front, this is an option. The cleanliness could be improved, I personally wiped everything down with bleach upon arrival, put on my own sheets, and stayed the week.

Staff was great, room very clean. Incredible location. Door key didn't work 100%, took 6-8 tries sometimes. Limited parking, available across street. Hotel is dated, but not an issue for us. 2 bedroom unit, the 2nd room is just bed and dresser.

The room was a complete nightmare. Never in my life have I paid so much to stay at a place this disgusting. I can not say what the other rooms are like, but room 422 was the nastiest place I’ve ever showered and slept in my life!
Shower was nasty to the point I wore flip flops to protect my feet. The toilet was so unstable and rocky that you could smell raw sewage when it moved.
Shower curtain rod failing off the wall.
Stove was dirty and held together by exposed wood screws.
The cabinet trim was just peeling away.
