On our final nights stay--there was other guests that were out of line/noisy--fighting above us (sounded like a fist match) we called to the front desk no answer and upon checking out they didn't comment on our issues. Drainage in shower was broken and our TV did not work as well. Very centralized stay everything is in walking distance which was great!

Liked: Room comfort
It was okay. If you need an easy place to stay with in walking distance to the beach, this isnt bad. However, there is little to no security. Also this is not a ritzy hotel. It's just a simple motel but better than a holiday inn or best western

Great veiw
The veiw from the balcony was great. The hotel needs a new update to the buildings. A little dated. Front desk personal was friendly and helpful.

This place is OVER PRICED for as dirty as it was! And one guy out of the 2 working the front desk we’re extremely rude! Shower had mold! The door to the bathroom needs to be replaced from damages as well as water damage. I could have stayed in a slum lord hotel for cheaper and probably just as clean, or should I say just as dirty?!?!

Nice room but needs a lot of immprovement
I liked room. Couldn’t get remote on tv to work completely. They couldn’t either. Stayed 4 days, had to ask for cleaning on second day. Pool was closed for two days. Shortage of food. Not many choices. For the $$$, it needs improvement.

Absolutely no negatives! We plan to return. The room was impeccably clean. The shower was amazing. We had a lovely view of the ocean directly from our balcony. Breakfast was free and the options were great. Eggs, sausage, coffee, bagels, juices, yogurt etc. The hotel is in a very quiet location and perfect for our staycation to celebrate our anniversary. Customer service and the whole experience was top tier!
