Overall the Hotel was okay. One of the elevators was out of service and the shower was low and lacked pressure and lacked hot water. overall the view was amazing from the hotel room, spacious, clean, convenient to shopping and stores and right on the beach. Great location overall and good food restaurants on location with amazing service. Check in was a breeze and the guy at the front desk was professional, helpful, and hospitable. The building needs some updating but overall a good value for the stay.

good location, we were staying on the 7th floor and the elevators kept breaking. My son was trapped in one until the fire dept came to pry the doors open. That elevator was out of order the rest of our stay. The remaining elevator kept stopping, requiring several trips via the stairs to 7th floor. The doors on the elevator had several pry marks on the door so was not very comforting everytime you had to use it. Several times I came down the elevator then had to walk back up.. my husband is disabled and can do fairly well in normal circumstances but was unable to do some things due to maybe not being able to walk the 7 flights back up. Our car was parked on the 5th floor so it was possible to do the 2 floors and get to the car. The rest of the stay was fine. Rooms clean and easy to get to the beach.

Can’t beat the views from the ocean front rooms! Only ONE elevator worked, out of 3! That was a bit annoying, but we were only there one night. We enjoyed the parking garage attached to the hotel too!

Check in check out both quick, easy. Front desk Clerk was helpful, pleasant and help with any questions we had. All staff was hepful polite and went out of their way to help. Only thing that was with only 1 elevator working at times the wait was a little long. Also with the shops closing Tuesday and Wednesday was a disappointing since they were my shopping days.

Hotel in Need of Renovation, Posing as a Resort.

The floor in the room wasn't clean, the shower had mold and even pictures had stains. The ocean/beach view was the nicest part. This is a hotel advertising as a resort when it is more like a hotel in need of a renovation. Charging a resort fee is just a scammy cash grab. Brooms were mounted along the corridor walls to get to the rooms, put them in a closet somewhere. The fake wood floors were uneven, had softspots and dips when you stepped in certain places. The floor had a long running crack that they just covered with tape. The parking garage is tight. We had issues with getting our truck in and was a big ordeal everytime we wanted to go out and come back to park. Some of the doors from the parking garage to the hotel corridors where the rooms are were left wide open to the public even though a room key is normally required to get in.

Cockroach

Floor was grimy, probably from some spray that didn’t get wiped away. Everything was fine, if not awesome. However, while packing up to leave, my husband stepped on a large cockroach. If we weren’t already leaving, I don’t know that I could have stayed an extra night knowing that more bugs were probably crawling around the room.
I’m old-school and still use an iPod, so used it for size comparison.
