Do not recommend.

I would recommend stay here. We had to check in at the next door hotel, nobody at front desk answer. I was calling all week to confirm my reservations. We had roaches in the room and two we crawling on the bed. The front desk lady wasn’t any help and was lying and canceled my 2nd day without my knowledge. The manager said they didn’t have roaches and didn’t want to hear it until I pulled out my phone, then she gave me excuses that I wasn’t trying to hear at all. I didn’t pay to sleep with roaches. She didn’t accommodate me at all and they couldn’t show me a cancellation policy or anything. So I reported it to my bank with a statement and pictures of the complaint.

Not great, not awful

It was decently clean but dated and the room smelled kinda musty. Like it hadn’t been opened all season. Price was high considering what you get. If I had paid 120 instead of 175 this would be 4 stars.

We were visiting our daughter so the location was important. We found that having a kitchenette was wonderful since we didn’t have a car. The kitchenette was a little outdated and the bathroom didn’t have a lot of space to put toiletries. We would stay here again the next time we visit.

Location, location, location! You can walk out the back of the hotel and straight onto the beach. While the bed was good, as was the bathroom/shower, the room was desperately in need of refurbishment. However everything was just functional and when combined with the low cost we paid it was worth it for the location.
