We stay here once a year. We like the location near all the tourist attractions. We also like the amenities that include beach access and beach bar. The property is older and is in need of upgrades but our room was clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We especially want to thank Eddie with maintenance for helping us retrieve a phone we thought we lost in the hot tub area.

When booking online , i thought it was more up to date on remodels . But it was just very basic , no breakfast - just bagels and coffee. Very quite rooms but smaller than other hotels . We thought it was gonna give us an ocean view but it didnt give us the option. It was right in the middle of town , very convenient for our one day stay to sight see.

I was really disappointed with my stay at Emerald Beach Hotel. The room was not very clean, and the restroom had visible mold, which made it feel uncomfortable. The advertised breakfast was not what we expected — either very limited or not available at all. The pool was cold and not well maintained, and the front desk rarely answered calls, so I had to go downstairs several times just to get basic help. Parking was also a major issue, with very few spots available. Overall, this hotel did not live up to the expectations set by its advertisements. I hope they take these concerns seriously and make improvements, because the location has potential.

I checked in after paying unexpected parking fees, went to room found bed to be very springy, old moldy odor, tv would not switch to hdmi, and was not comfortable so I checked with front desk, they did not have a better option or solution so I immediately checked out and found a more comfortable hotel. No refund was issued so it was a wasted $500
