The hotel was ok. The elevator was slow, the threshold was loose and bent, but overall ok. Great location. Wonderful views, nice balcony, but the outside noise was loud and the parking was horrendous!! They need to set parking just for the hotel. Sharkys diners parked in all of the parking spaces. We won't be back because of the parking.

The staff was very friendly and the beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom door would not lock, the walls were dirty, and the floor was nasty to walk on barefoot (they were sand and also felt like they had not been mopped).
This hotel need some work you can see holes by the doors and above them it need to be updated. When I call to make reservation the reservation agent told me one price when she read me my confirmation she had entered the wrong date so when she put the right dates in it took the rate up and she wouldn’t adjust it. I’m glad we only were staying one night
First of all the picture of this property on the Expedia app is deceptive. This hotel looks nothing like the picture displayed because if I had’ve seen the condition the hotel was in I never would’ve booked there. Let’s start off with the parking lot it’s too small and narrow and shared with a restaurant next door. The elevator is only big enough for about 3 ppl if u are using a cart with your belongings u barely can get the cart in the elevator. The pool was cloudy the entire time of my stay never was clear and blue it was a greenish color. The furniture in the room needs to be thrown in a dumpster. One of the chairs in my room looked of what it appeared to be a big semen stain on it. The sofa had stains all over it. I had to go to the front desk and get extra towels and sheets to cover the furniture. In general this is nothing more than a run down motel it needs renovation badly. It needs a good thorough cleaning pressure washing also painting. There was a lot of rust on fixtures. No complimentary ice machine on the property. To get ice u have to purchase out of the freezer for $7 what a joke. Lesson learned u get what u pay for. I don’t understand how the condos across the street stand to look at this eye sore. I won’t be back.

Office wasnt open after i checked in, poor lighting, and parking inconvenience. Electrical needs to be updated. Ceiling light blinked and wouldnt stay on
Property was average. View and access to the beach was wonderful. Accessibility to area attractions was great! The down side, beds were awful. They were hard, making for a horrible night of sleep. Blankets were extremely thin. Weird smell when you entered the room. Outside on balcony smelled of smoke and weed. Office was closed the whole time, so had to walk to the companies other property down the road to receive towels or toilet paper. (They did not check rooms daily)
Won't be back. Parking is ridiculous.. black mold behind the bed on the trimming the wall. Pool was not clean

The property was an older one of the area. It is okay for a quick trip to get away. The biggest problem was the parking. I understand the property is right beside Sharky’s. However, the overflow parking was full as well.
Loved being right on the beach! Everyone was very friendly!

Room was ok for the price. Got charged $27 to park a second car and they took a 50 dollar deposit up front. Parking was crazy. Had to park in the overflow because of the restaurant next door.

All of the staff I met were so friendly. The pool was very nice and the walk to be beach is clean. The room was clean and taken care of. It’s an older hotel so of course it’s not perfect but for the price it is a very nice stay ! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anybody. Seeing the ocean off of the balcony is top tier.

The location is perfect. On the beach and lots of restaurants nearby. Parking lot is limited and have to park in a different lot. The building needs update and renovation. Nice resort for a weekend.
Given wrong room. Dirty run down facility. Inexperienced staff members. Felt like we were in a 3rd world country!

The area was convenient but I didn’t like that the parking lot is shared with a local restaurant. If parking is full hotel guests have to park in over flow parking across the street. The room didn’t seem to be cleaned well before we checked in. The bedsheets had to be changed and the floors were extremely dirty. The shower curtain looked to have mold on it.
