The property is clean for a beachfront property. They’re doing a bunch of renovation since the new owners have taken over. We’ve been coming down here for years and love it.

Amazing hotel! Will stay here again!
I stayed for 6 days with my husband on a trip during off peak season. PRO'S - Staff were super amazing and awesome! They were considerate, around 24/7 and when I asked for extra towels etc, they even had it ready when I returned. Super thoughtful and just nice! - Beach was just a walk away, very close! - Hotel very clean and comfortable. I used the game room, a hot tub, and outdoor seating. They also had free beach chairs to use and bring back. - Bed was super comfortable as well as the sofa. View from the balcony was clean and inviting, well taken care off, just amazing views every day. Room was clean and the same as described when I booked. - Tea maker in room worked well and was clean. Refrid. worked just fine as well as TV. TV had many good shows to offer, remote was straight forward for someone who was not fam. with the area. - They had a bible next to the phone! Glad this didn't go away. Very impressed. - Hotel had free coffee and water 24/7. CON - Hotel had construction so there was no restaurant and no room service during off season. This was a bummer. Would have liked to have room service on late days. - The bar was also open at odd times. - Low water pressure in the room and shower head needed to be cleaned, possible calcium buildup. The cons were frustrating but not enough to detour me from coming back. Overall, fantastic hotel and will stay here upon our return. Thanks!

Have stayed at this location under different ownerships. The hotel has been upgraded and everything was very good during our stay. The restaurant was closed but we new that when we reserved our room. Kind of quiet this time as it was the weekend between Christmas and New Years 2025. Hotel staff were very nice a accommodating. Would very much recommend.

A great experience at a great off season price
There have been a lot of upgrades made to this hotel over the last couple of years! The rooms are clean and comfortable with great views - huge windows facing the ocean! The shower is quite small and was a bit awkward in such a small space with the toilet and the door opening in, but that’s not the most important thing for me. The hot tub was great and the lounge area was really nice with games and free popcorn! Beach access is easy. I loved the look of the outdoor tables and string lights. The lady at the front desk was very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be back!

The property is absolutely gorgeous! And the view, stunning! The only downside I experienced was Bed Bugs! I found one in my room and even after room change still woke up with bites next day. If it wasn't because of that I would've 100% been back.

Overall very good.
Overall,enjoyed our stay with our dog.The rooms have been tastefully decorated and the mattress was comfortable.A nice place for the price.The staff was friendly. The bathroom was very small and the fan did not work.They told us a work order was put in to repair the fan,but they failed to repair it.Would have been easy for them to provide honey buns or muffins to buy in the morning since no continental breakfast.
