I love this place. I think they are in the process of renovating some of the rooms. The place has been here forever and needs a little facelift. Best place to go if you have a dog, especially in the off-season. I come here several times a year.

We enjoyed an upper level room that had been completely remodeled ~ new flooring, bathroom, etc. We loved having an ocean front view ~ although it took two of us to open and close the sliding glass door (it was not recently replaced). The beds were comfortable, but were soft and a bit lumpy like they had maybe not replaced the mattresses, but added toppers. Overall it was really nice, although there was an incident a couple of doors down from us where a man had beat up another man. Lots of uniformed people and emergency vehicles and after they all left a woman was crying and wailing on the balcony until almost midnight. Not the hotels fault, of course, but lots of noise and commotion.

We enjoyed our stay due to the nice staff and the area however the broken elevator put a damper on it. This place could use some upgrading and maintenance. Lovely folks, great location and the restaurants and shops were all A+++. Would come again.

The rooms could use a little TLC. The elevators were not working and we had a power outage for a minute. Great location, fabulous outdoor bar and great view of the beach and ocean. I would say the rates are high for the age of the property. But, we would stay again and recommend it!
