Loved the roll in shower. ! Loved the beach tho very tiny. Loved the pool & restaurant. People/staff & in restaurant were personable & helpful. I thank you for that. Sofa had blood on arm, one seat cushion was nasty, whole sofa need cleaning. Ugh! Bathroom wall had brown yuck running down it on left side going in. Wish maid service had been explained a bit more. Patio had French fries , orange slices & other food & a bazillion ants on door threshold. I sprayed my Lysol on some of the ants. I called front desk to vacuum patio & they did get -some -of food up. Not sure I would return.

Fantastic! Hotel was perfectly located on a beautiful beach, rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable, staff was friendly, pool was clean. The area seemed very safe too. Only negative was the price per night for parking and the narrow parking spots, but there was always was available spots to park. Every local hotel charged that same price for parking. I’m hoping to come back next summer too.

They do not tell you that you cannot bring your own chairs or umbrellas. You are forced to rent theirs. Also no food or drinks of your own. No ice machine. This is more of an inlet vs real beach. The staff was very nice. We will stay elsewhere next time.

Nice location steps from water. The beach is calm and great for kids. Many places to eat nearby and just a minute walk down beach to night music and more food options. I don't care for the added conservation and parking fees you have to pay on arrival. This should be included in expedia price. Overall a great option right on beach.

Worse room ive stayed in
Veryyy disappointed. No trash bag, room was facing the parking garage that has windows so absolutely no privacy, couldnt even open the curtains so here we are staying in a dark hotel room on a beach after paying over 200/night then we get there and had to pay for parking on their premises for the night so $240 for something that was motel 8 comparable
