Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
First of all the staff was very friendly, accommodating, and always had a kind greeting. One lady working the front desk (with blond and dark hair drooping over her eyes) was the exception. She was stern and unapproachable. Given this is a beachfront hotel and appears to be a bit on the older side, it was an excellent place for the price involved. Very affordable and great beach access. Although they state they aren't handicap accessible, I probably didn't read the details appropriately. The beach access room I booked was actually two floors down from the parking lot, and no elevator. There was also no indoor latch or chain on the door. I would have felt a bit safer had one been present. Not that I felt unsafe, one just never can be too careful. I would stay here again, despite those things mentioned above. For the price, there are trade-offs. And the friendliness of the staff was superb.

The service was friendly, and the location was perfect: we were close to everything. We got the suite with a kitchen. While the resort was older and clearly showed signs of its age on the outside, the room was clean and very comfortable. It had all the amenities we needed!

Check in staff was friendly, the room had a kitchen (with dishes and cutlery which was appreciated!). The room was very clean however we discovered one set of sheets were soiled when going to bed. It was after midnight and the staff brought us clean sheets and then in the morning made it up to us for our troubles. Had a great stay, loved the wonderful view and would happily stay again.

Checked in for just two nights. Didn't expect anyone to come in while we were gone the very first day. However, we came back to new towels on our bed that we did not ask for. Coffee pot in the room also did not work. If you don't plan on being in the hotel very long, not a bad stay.
