Very average stay. You can tell the rooms haven't been updated in a while (lumpy pillows, tiles that move under your feet, regrouting needed, etc.), but still a nice place and conveniently located by the water. I'd suggest a double layer of curtains to help with the sun shining through in the morning. We stayed during nonpeak season, so the price was worth what we received.

Oceanside rooms are the way to go. Waking up to the ocean right outside your balcony is the best. Our room was ready ahead of time which made our whole trip much easier.

We love this hotel. So close to the beach. The room was spacious as well as the balcony. Staff is helpful and courteous. Only other thing I would comment on is the rooms need an upgrade. I understand upgrades are going to begin soon. Definitely will stay here again.

There is no elevator to the 2nd and 3rd oceanfront rooms. First floor rooms have no ocean view, even in the oceanfront rooms. Other than that, peaceful and relaxing most of the time.

Yes, it is oceanfront, which is the big plus, however the rooms and facilities don’t make the high cost worth it. The rooms are dated - old carpet, furniture, one of the bathroom lights was out, mirror in the room was not near an outlet and no extension cords available, the air conditioning unit sounded like it was going to break down any second and the ‘change filter’ light was on. I’ve stayed here a few times, and it is always noisy. Sounds like people moving furniture at all times of the night and loud TV. Staff is friendly and accommodated us with early check-in. The value just isn’t there so won’t be staying here again.
