Stayed here a few years ago and should have checked the new reviews. We we’re surprised at how run down our room was. AC was cold and bed ok for the 1 night we visited. Pool area and beach view/access are the only redeeming qualities.

Property was a bit dated and only had one of the two elevators working for 7 floors. Parking if the lot was full was across the street but with the added construction on the road made it more of a hassle getting in and out which is no fault of the hotel just a comment on current parking. Most of the staff I interacted with was friendly and helpful. The view was great and room was spacious enough for myself and 2 kids. Would stay again.

The hotel looks renovated from the outside and its lobby is very renovated and nice, they should do the same with the rooms since they look quite old and neglected, the mattress on the sofa bed was full of stains, old and dirty, they should change them since I do not think it is healthy, like the pillows, the utensils and cabinets also look old and broken. This is the third visit I have made to this hotel and the truth is I like it a lot for its amenities and location. The last time I stayed was three years ago and now that we returned we were surprised to see how neglected the rooms are and also, they no longer offer the healthy breakfasts they used to have, which included yogurt, fruit, cereal, etc. etc., now they only offer granola bars and water. I hope they really clean the rooms and change the old and dirty mattresses and pillows.

I will say the room was clean, but the A/C's in the rooms didn't work well. No fans, so bring one because the rooms get hot. Also, there is a door that goes to the other room and was unlocked and would not lock. The room also smelled heavily of weed. Pretty sure someone hid some in the room. The bed's were comfortable but the pull out couch had no linens. It took FOREVER to check in but the process was easy. The pool is also nice, it caters to small children as most of the pool is only 4 ft deep. Only one elevator works for all seven floors and the hotel is at capacity. The only working elevator takes you to random floors before finally going where you need to. You can park across the street but have to cross heavy traffic with no crosswalk. The only staff we encountered was rude and could care less what you had to say. People were calling the front desk and he wouldn't pick up. The best thing about this place is the view. You get direct view of the beach which was beautiful. But that's it. Your money goes to the view, I would probably not stay here again.

When I arrived the A/C wasn’t working. They did come fix it, but took a while. The toilet didn’t work. Had to fill it up with water and flush it. Random people were knocking in the door late at night and my daughter was fearful so we checked out and left and went to stay somewhere else.

There was mold covering the ceilings. I reported the issue 4 times with the hopes of changing rooms. I was told there was nothing that could be done. The carpet had an odor. The door between the room and kitchen was damaged and falling apart. My room key never worked. We constantly kept having to go to the front desk to get new keys and apparently other guests were having the same issue with their room keys. The laundry room was out of order. The refrigerator was not cleaned and had no shelving. This place seemed more like a motel at a truck stop

The staff was always friendly and helpful. The lobby area has been upgraded and very nice. The property in general has really deteriorated in the 13 years I have been staying here. The elevators were not working most of the time. When your room is on the 7th floor that means a lot of stairs. They laundry facilities were all out of service. I had to go to the laundry over on Hwy 98. The kitchen area is in much need of new appliances. We had 2 forks, 3 spoons and no sharp knife to cut a pineapple with. The beds were another issue. One bed had decent mattresses the other had a deep sag to one side. There was supposed to be a mattress in the sofa that was not there. We had to buy an air mattress for one to sleep on. The bathroom also had issues. The toilet was not connected to the floor and moved when you sat on it. The tubs need replacing with showers. There is joining properties that could be used as a parking garage and an onsite laundry for the facility. I was assured that there was major renovations coming after peak season. I love the area and the beach access. This is why we continue to stay in this facility. Please upgrade so the staff has a nice place to work so they will enjoy being there!
