Beautiful view. Outdated. Beds were clean. Had to find sheets in lobby for sofa bed. Air conditioner was frozen and not working, looked like the filter was years old. Curtains in bedroom would help because the outdoor light came through blinds and made the room too light. Throw out the area rug, it is dirty and gross.

Nice location right on beach. Service at check in was little slow, room showing some age but clean and comfortable. Room did have no a/c and drain in tub was partially blocked. Would definitely stay again. Beach was nice, clean and quiet.

Just not the place to stay in the dead of winter. Rooms all face outside like a motel. Staff was kind but minimal. Hot tub jets were broken. The one lamp in the bedroom room (no overhead light or fan) was broken but replaced quickly when reported.

The view is the best part of the stay. The staff was unpleasant. The room was last remodeled in 1994. Think thrifted furniture. Couch was stained. Lamps that were not plugged in or near a plug. Bed super comfy. Very no frills hotel with no real amenity worth the stay...

Staff was great and the room was clean, however- the bed was detached from the head board making it impossible to sleep, toilet paper was not only rough feeling like sandpaper, but also kept falling off the holder. The way the bedroom was set up you couldn’t even watch the tv at night.

The view and the staff are the best parts of this hotel. The beds are extremely lumpy and uncomfortable and the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors talking with normal inside voices. The rooms need updating as well. Our couch had stuffing coming out of a hole and there was dust and dirt in the corners. The floors were dirty as well. Will not return.
