Excellent beach hotel

The location is awesome! It’s right across from the beach and has great views. I loved the open guest patio looking right out on the water. My dog loved it and she slept so well in the room. The bed was comfy and the room was spacious. Overall excellent experience!

Will not return

We were staying with our toddler child. Internet and TV did not work which put a hitch in our nighttime routine. No resolution was ever made. Parking was completely full in both parking lots. One staff member was very friendly, a young male trainee. Another was rude and dismissive. Room was clean. Bed was hard. I received an email from the property requesting that I email them if there were any issues. The email they provided was ———@——.com. We won’t be back.

This hotel has an amazing location. Outside of that it is not a nice place. It is terribly rundown, extremely loud and no frills. Very overpriced for what you get, which is nothing more than a rundown motel.

The room was clean and the view very nice. Check in staff wasn’t very welcoming or friendly. While walking to the beach a worker was watering and didn’t stop using the hose as I walked by and I slipped and fell and didn’t ask if I was okay. So not the greatest experience overall.

Right in the center of it all but somehow still quiet. The open patio has a great view! Staff was friendly and helpful. We had a room off the street. The curtain was dirty, the walls were dirty but the bedsheets and floors were clean. It’s 8/10 on cleanliness. I wouldn’t want to stay more than a night. It’s more for the location.

A room with a nice view but not much else

It was all about the view for us, but the hotel didn’t have a closet because the fridge was in the way. It was a small room and the use of space needed to be thought out. Also, it has the privacy of a motel. The shades didn’t block any light and you could see through them. The shades were also too long and the AC blew the shades up. It was really strange. Everything else was fine.
