Dirty and unsafe
I would not recommend staying here. We checked in and left 20 minutes later after we observed how dirty and disgusting the condition of the room was. Spoke with the hotel and Hotel.com and was denied a refund for our stay. There was black mold along the baseboard and hair and cobwebs everywhere. There was something splattered all over the tv and the dresser it was on.

Location is a redeeming factor.
The location was 5 stars and almost made up for some of the lower scores. There was mold on the shower and cobwebs on light fixtures. The fireworks and feeding the gulls were unexpected treats.

It’s an older hotel but our family LOVED it! Our room had a balcony facing the water & it was lovely. Being able to have a fire on their beach was fantastic. Staff was extremely pleasant & helpful. Our room was very spacious. Close to everything downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
