We enjoyed the stay, staff seemed to be helpful. We had a problem w/balcony, woke up one morning & water all over it, after they fixed AC/ it became worse. We think a whole new system was needed. Other than that, not a bad place.

I loved this hotel. Nothing fancy but the vibe is low key and casual… loved the oceanfront location and balcony on each room. The area behind the hotel is so cool, sandy area with tables overlooking the beach as well as a pool and tiki bar. The restaurant is very good, biscuits were homemade and best I’ve had. The staff was so helpful and pleasant. Nice beach chairs and umbrellas. The a/c is cool and bed very comfy!

The location and value for the price was excellent. The pool and proximity to the beach was ideal for relaxation. The property seemed to be short staffed, which led to the restaurant not being open for breakfast or extended hours at night. Parking was good and plenty of luggage carts for guest check-in. Give yourself time for check-in or head straight to the beach and let the line die down, which worked great for us. Our room certainly needed some maintenance with ceiling peeling and humidity taking its toll on the bathroom and balcony, but the beds were comfortable. The life machine was broken on the 4th floor, but we were able to access some from the floor below. All in all, we would visit again.

Staff was nice, room was small. Asked for house keeping (you have to request them, they dont just come) to help sweep up since the kids were getting sand everywhere and never showed up which was frustrating. Saw someone have their dog swimming in the pool which was odd. Restaurant was horrible! Don't recommend! But ocean was beautiful, it was nice they had chairs and put umbrellas for you for the beach (first come, people went out at like 7am to claim chairs!)
