This hotel staff was the worst I have ever encountered from the snickering and giggling when I brought down the dorty swim trunks that were left in the room to the mold in the shower that we discovered in the morning that they just dismissed and told me they could give us another room and will call when it is clean which they never did. DO NOT stay here I know I will never again. And absolutely to response from the manager either.

Extremely dated furniture. In room furniture looks like original since the 50s or 60s. We did have a 3rd floor overlooking the beach and were able to see the fireworks. Oh, skip the breakfast - it was cold. Grab a 2 for 1 coupon and go uptown to the breakfast buffet.

There aren't enough outlets in the room. While looking for one behind the night stand, I saw a lot of dust accumulated behind it. Not having an elevator made it difficult for me having to climb to the third floor.

I was able to get my room after a bit a snafu about which rooms were open. I guess the computer was not up to date on who was where when I was trying to check in. My room was nicely cleaned and I was told if I needed it cleaned, just let the front desk know. They helped me out when I had a problem with my CPAP not having all the connections (Thank you ladies!). The food for breakfast was good. The area was quiet for the most part until an unhappy hotel guest came to stay and had a very loud phone call (her problem, not theirs). They were great in having ferry tickets to the Island and having a shuttle come to pick me up. Over all, it was a nice week in a nice room.

The room I got smelled like mildew. The windows would barely open because they were so dirty. The screens of the windows were ripped, so bugs got in. When I went and checked out the pool, the Inside of the pool is pretty dirty on the bottom and the water was very cloudy. Because of that I wouldn’t even swim in it. I definitely will not be booking another room there again.

Heat didn’t work in front bedroom. Same for tv. The little fridge freezer compartment is frozen solid. Screen on patio is loose. Nearby outside ditch is a breeding spot and horrible. Would probably say this property has been abused during the regular tourist season. Needs a lot of TLC. Staff is cordial

Overall, the place was fine. The carpets are disgusting though. Anyone can clearly see the floors all need a good scrubbing. Do not walk in the rooms barefoot!! Management needs to put in a cleaning order asap.

Location is great with a very good beach area. The rooms are very outdated and dirty. Smelled of mildew & mold from the minute we opened the door. Carpet & bedding felt damp & wet. Bath tub was full of cracks and soft like rotted under it. When stepping out the floor felt the same way and the tiles would lift up. The pool & hot tub were very dirty. Brown dirty around the hot tub rim and black stuff floating all over the bottom. Same with pool. Great location though

The staff was friendly. We arrived around 11pm and when I checked in I was greeted by two clerks. They both said welcome at the same time. The property is on the water there are noticable upkeep issues that comes with this environment. We had a balcony room and loved it. We slept with the sliding door open to enjoy the sound of the water. The breakfast was thankfully more than a grab and go like most places are these days. We have two teenagers and they said they would like to stay again.
