I did not like the stairs and having to take my things up the stairs to 2nd floor because of no elavator. For older people this is a lot of work. I think the price of the Hotel was to high for this reason.

Room was acceptably clean, but windows were covered with finger prints and the curtains and sills were dirty. Housekeeping only comes in every 3 days, so our bed was never made. The restaurant was freezing and we had to wait 45 minutes for our food which was mediocre. We will not return.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Initially, we were super excited to enjoy the amenities of this hotel but truthfully, this should be a motel. Upon checking in going to our room, I noticed it smelled a little weird in the hallway and they had Dehumidifiers in the hallways /no AC. Upon opening our door, the stench was so bad of urine and mold and mildew. It burned my nose. Walked back up to the front of the lobby explained the situation with the room. I’ve never smelled anything so bad in my life. It was an insane hassle to switch the room because we booked through a third-party they kept telling me they couldn’t do anything about it , I offered to buy a new room another day nothing etc. They insisted they were not able to do anything until I said I wasn’t Going to leave until they did. They switched us to another room, which to be honest, at least didn’t smell like urine, but it smelled like old mold, and it was musty and damp . The room was dirty and toiletries were used . Everything was pretty rundown, old, There are no elevators to get to the second floor, the hotel doors do not lock. They had a small coffee maker in the bathroom! The room was decent size and had ample places to put a coffee maker. Beach is filled with goose poop. The people that on this are trying to run a slum motel and charge hotel prices. The people that owned This place cared about it. It could be a nice space, but I would never stay here again.

Decent place to sleep & clean up on beach days
We have stayed at this hotel 2 years in a row for a weekend couple’s getaway. The hotel itself is old, the carpet is worn and a bit dirty, and the rooms are dated. However, the bed was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and well-stocked, and both bedroom and bathroom are spacious so you can spread out if needed. There is housekeeping only if you stay for 3 nights, but the staff are quick to bring you more towels or supplies as needed, so that didn’t bother us at all. (We are grown-ups, we can make our own bed and live to tell about it.) I see a lot of complaints about staff. We had no problem both years. They were friendly to us, and I think the main reason is that we were respectful of them. I think the key here is that you need to be a good customer in order to get good customer service. Try it…it works. So the main reason to stay here is easy access to the beach, which is great. However, if you are a light sleeper, book “standard” room that faces the road. 1st trip we had a bay view. The view of the bay is just ok, but the noise on the bay side is high. Second trip we chose the city view on the second floor. Very little noise compared to the 1st year. Walking distance to many restaurants, beach with live music, and access to the bar are pluses. So we come here just to have a place to sleep and clean up after beach days. For that, it is worth it. Be nice to the staff, bring flip flops, decide if you want to party or sleep at night. Easy peasy.
