It was the perfect place to shower, sleep and head back out to the boardwalk or beach!! Location was excellent. Food and shopping within walking distance. Lillian at the front desk was so helpful. We wanted to upgrade our room to full ocean view with AC and she picked the perfect room. Parking was expensive and owned by a 3rd party is our only complaint. We will be back!!!

This property has a great location but the facility itself was equivalent to an old Motel 6. The rooms were old and rundown with carpets that appear to have been there since they built the building. The outside could use some updating or at least some paint. If they updated the floors to hardwood that could make a works of difference. It was disappointing to have such a bad room when there are such amazing views of the beach.

The staff is friendly, but this property is a complete dump. They don’t have central air, the hose to the portable air conditioner wasn’t even connected. They had a box fan in the room that was caked in grime. The lamp shades were covered in mildew, the floors,curtains, and headboard were stained beyond belief and it smelled like a musty basement. At one point I dropped my soap in the shower, and when I picked it up it was covered in dirt. The pool is an afterthought, and the whole area smells like the grease trap from the restaurant that backs right up to the pool. We don’t spend a lot of time in our room, but I would not recommend this property at all, especially at $320 a night.

I stayed here this time last year for my birthday week and had a great stay. I had a room with a balcony with an ocean view. I could easily overlook the hotels shortcomings. I was excited to stay again this year again for my birthday week. However, this time I was given a room in the back of the hotel and it was sold to me as an “upgrade” with a couch and a microwave. But that was the trade off. There was no balcony, no ability to even leave the window open to get fresh air because anyone can break in (it faces a walkway). It was a dark, dingy, room that made me cry the moment I walked into it. I really hope that for all the money this hotel makes that some of the money could be spent towards renovating the property. I know the location is great, but I also spent a lot of money and specifically chose this hotel. The room can really make a difference in the stay. Staff were very nice-no complaints there. You guys are just doing the best you can with what you have.
