Staff were really super-nice all around.........very helpful and caring. We enjoyed the meals there and the Happy Hour. Pool was fine, Parking was difficult on a few nights. Our room is unfortunately pretty darn "Outdated" at roughly --$400/night No balcony, no Seaview, -- a small microwave, half fridge, tiny coffee-maker an iron, a blow-dryer. Two sinks would have helped out tremendously !!! Bathroom was just way too-too tiny. It had been renovated nicely (except for the black mildew or mold on the wall by the shower-head !!) The bathroom is 5 X 6 with door swinging in it, and all amenities in it. Too small for multiple people.

Parking is a nightmare. Room wasn’t the cleanest. Sand on the kitchen floor and old, moldy coffee in the pot which was gross. Shower had hair on the hairs. Definitely not properly cleaned before check-in. People were nice though.

This property is in a PRIME location! Right on the beach, affordable, clean and the AC is great. As most of the reviews say it is very dated. The inside of the rooms are better than the outside. My family stayed for the weekend and we had what we needed for our stay.

I have been to the establishment before to the entertainment area. So I was excited to book a room for a reasonable price. Usually hotels by the beach are out of date or have that familiar mildew smell, not this hotel we were greeted from the very beginning handled with care and the cleanliness of the establishment from beginning to end was amazing. 10 out of 10

The exterior of the property is pretty clean, the rooms and interior areas could be cleaned a little better. Staff is very friendly and the space was adequate. I would say that the building is getting a little dated and worn out, could use some updates. The pool was very nice.
