The room was clean, but during my five-day stay, the lobby and breakfast area were in need of regular cleaning, especially the floors. Coffee spills and stains remained untouched the entire time, and I never saw the tables being wiped down after use. Food replenishment was not automatic—you had to ask when items ran out. The bananas provided daily were rotten. Additionally, there are only 18 parking spaces beneath the hotel, none of which are designated for handicapped parking. If you need accessible parking, you’ll have to use the municipal lot about a block away—assuming you can make the walk.

The staff upfront were great. We had some pretty bad issues inside the room. Brought proof to the manager and he didn’t want to look at the items and just said he would give us one night at half price. Although I do appreciate that there should have been more hospitality especially from the manager about our situation.

Great location! Stephanie did a great job welcoming us and checking us in. Interior room spacious, but small TV and scratchy towels. Easy beach access. We would book here again but hopefully not an interior room near the elevator.

We absolutely loves this hotel.! Super friendly staff, very clean.! The only downside was that the pool and pool area did not seam to be working properly. The water fountain pipe was broke, and the “showers” to wash off before getting in the pool did not work. Which it was too cold to get into the pool, but we could not wash the sand off of our shoes from the beach. Other than that, we will definitely be coming back.!!

Comfortable beach front hotel

Quick stop at the beach. Was a nice budget friendly ocean front hotel. No frills, but clean and comfortable. Exactly what we were looking for for our 2 night stay. Plenty of choices with in walking distance to eat. The provided shampoo and body wash smelled like mens shampoo, so that was a little wierd, but it worked

Horrible service at checkin. Elise seemed to not like that I was checking in. She wouldn't even stand or extend her arm to take and give my info, room keys, receipt. Had to reach over a desk and computer. Very rude, childish and petty! After reading reviews, other people had similar experiences Checking in. Will never stay there again!

This property has a nice location, a boardwalk right to the beach. There is also a few restaurants and shops within walking distance. The room was nice and clean. There was no window in the room which was odd. I knew it was a room without a view but didn't know that meant no window. I didn't expect much for breakfast because it did say continental but it was even less than I expected. A muffin or Danish would have been nice. The employees were ok, not overly friendly. We did enjoy our location and walking on the beach
