Liked: Staff & service
There was barely any beach view the room was muggy and the toilet placement was ridiculous
This was a small room but everything was nice. Being right at the beach was really nice. I think the only downside was no microwave to re-heat all the delicious food we got but couldn't eat all at once. I would definitely come again.
Loved that we could park on hotel property and not on the street. Everything we needed was just steps away: groceries, dining, entertainment, the beach. Wonderful view of the ocean from the balcony, clean room and friendly staff. We will definitely be back.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were great and the lobby was clean and convenient havng snacks, drinks and suveniors for purchase. I also loved how close to beach we were as well as having a private patio. It was just too noisy between the people walking around upstairs and people at the beach playing music loudly, popping firewords etc.
Place is a great location. Its clean and close to all the excitement of the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
being right infront of the beach was very nice and convenient, although being that close to the beach does come wish humidity. the rooms should come with ceiling fans to help with air flow. i’ve also never stayed in a hotel without a microwave, but other than those 2 things it was a great stay and the staff was great
Room was very clean, beds comfortable and towels soft. Staff friendly and helpful!!! Only negative is rooms are not quiet-can hear next room occupant snoring. Overall great experience and would stay there again. Locations is perfect!
