we liked the location; we were only a 3-minute walk to the beach. Free parking, all the dining & shops were about a 10-min walk. Our favorite restaurant to eat was about a 10-minute walk. The bed in our room was rather difficult for us. (we're seniors). The bed was sitting a bit high & we needed a stool for my wife. The bed was also against the wall on one side, so you were only able to get out of bed on one side. I'm pretty sure there were other rooms that would have been more suitable for someone in our age group. But we Loved the area we were staying. I would recommend staying here.

Expect more!

The best thing is that it’s close to the beach but our room was ready close to six pm instead of 4 pm as there was only one housekeeper working on a Monday holiday weekend which is weird! TV didn’t work for channels or on demand and it’s an old tv model which doesn’t give you access to your Netflix account, other thing is the noise from the upstairs room you can pretty much hear any steps from guests upstairs, I usually don’t complain but for the amount I paid I was expecting more I guess!

Excellent location. Understandably this is not an upscale property and the main value is in its location. But I think there are a couple of easy fixes to improve the customer experience a lot. We stayed in Room 141 - the blinds don’t work fully and being right next to the parking lot and the walkway it is hard to sleep. Some real blackout curtains would be very helpful. Another problem is in hot summer days there is no effective cooling. One of our bedroom had a ceiling fan and that runs extremely slow and is ineffective, the other bedroom had none. We called the office and asked if there are tower fans. There was none - I think adding some modern functioning cooling options to the guest rooms will greatly improve experience.

Hotel Staff SUCKS!

First they do not answer thier phone! Could not confirm reservation or unit as requested. Then poor attitude from staff in giving customers any time at counter. Room was below sidewalk so every foot step was heard. There was a metal gate attached to the room wall that clanged LOUDLY with every public and resident who walked through ALL NIGHT LONG.

Anniversary weekend

This is not a hotel, it’s more like a motel 6. Definitely not worth $300+ per night. Arrived and checked in Friday. Went to our room 136, which had not been cleaned yet. We had to return to the office and wait for them to call about 30 minutes later. The way the bed is set up in room 136, my husband to climb over me to get out of the bed. Just a weird set up and cob webs in the ceiling, the toilet rocked when you sat on it. Just gross honestly. Expedited more for the price. Location is great that’s about it.

Loud neighbors. After hours staff was quick to address it after complaining. Walls are thin so noise is unavoidable. Bugs flying around in bathroom. Outdated appliances and rundown furniture.

Front desk staff not customer service at all! Booked a full kitchen unit advertised as 2 queen and 2 double for 8. Had 2 queens and a broken down pull out sofa. Kitchen had NO cooking pans or utensils. Asked office if rhey had silverware for the kitchen and ahe said we can rent them for $50. Bought plastic at the corner market for $2.89. Location and.room otherwise nice. Need to let customers know they need to bring everything for the kitchen

The initial impression was, it was okay. Parking: it was tricky where to park, you have to go and call them once you’re there to lift the boom barrier. Staff: the front desk was real nice. She’s at the very front with the really tiny office. Cleaners are available only upon request. Room: there was an initial smell when you first go in and maybe you get used to it you don’t really smell after a while. It is not a bad, bad smell, more of the building having been flooded as well as being old. Having a kitchen was great. They have stove, coffee maker, toaster, microwave. Bring your own cooking pans if you plan to cook. No plates but coffee mugs and cups are available. Restroom was small but functional. Convenience: Close to the beach, close to the restaurants. We loved walking around and going back to the TINY HOUSE as we called it. We didn’t care for a perfect room just because we stayed out most of the time and only really came in to rest and sleep. IT’s GOOD if you don’t care so much about having too fancy of rooms.
