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.

The hotel is in desperate need of a renovation. The hallways smell of soaked beach water in the carpets. The room had peeling paint from the ceiling. Had to switch rooms due to the AC not functioning properly. 2nd room had a chair that the pleather was peeling off of it. 1 of 2 elevators broke night 1. Only positive is it was a close to the beach and a short drive to downtown nightlife and restaurants.

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.
