Super nice and friendly staff. Clean and easy to access from the Ocean Hwy. Property has a huge potential, just a bit run down. Water damage on bottom of doors, HVAC sys could be upgraded. Overall, a decent place to stay, close to the ocean and direct access to the bay waters.

Very friendly and helpful after hours

I had an issue where I left my laptop in the room, but the hotel then closed for the week I called the reservation line they sent somebody over who had to drive 30 minutes just so they can re-Treeve the laptop for me, which was very much appreciated very friendly there. Definitely recommend staying there again

They did not have cleaning staff and still charged a resort fee when we arrived. It was later in October. I will stay again as it is reasonablyt priced, and great location. Great for a family.

This place was amazing! I’m usually an ocean front girl but this definitely changed my mind with a room literally on the bay and on the ground floor. I would definitely go back. And the ladies in the office were so nice. Hidden gem for sure.

Staff changed - Thank God!

We have been coming here for 30 years. It was unfortunate that the last few years, staffing was something to be desired, if you know what I mean. However, they have done an excellent job of getting rid of the riff-raff employees and hiring a new and smiling staff! Everyone was so great on our last trip there. We'll be back. Our room on the first floor, bay side, was updated with paint, carpet and pictures. But they do need to address the fridge area, screens on the patio door and those rickety-rackety a/c which have been there as long as we have been coming. When checking out, one guest said it sounded like a garbage disposal. I would have to agree. Very loud!
