This property never disappoints. It’s walking distance to food, beach supplies, and entertainment. Plenty of parking, three pools including a kiddie pool and the most spectacular unobstructed ocean views around. The staff is very friendly and helpful and it’s always hard to leave.

The hotel is wonderful. The staff is professional and friendly, and has a easy access to the beach. The only downside was the roaches in the room. But other than that, the Hotel is worth a shot

I want to start by saying that the staff was really friendly, however the hotel pictures on the website is not what the hotel looks like. There was a lot of rust and the paint coming of the walls also the elevators are crazy scary they didn't seem to be working properly at the time I was staying there, I stayed 6 days and only had room service once and that was only picking up the trash and giving me the clean towels I requested.

Building is starting to show some wear and tear, but I have stayed here many times, and rarely have any issues. It’s not the Ritz, so if that’s what you’re looking for, keep going. It’s comfortable, safe, great location, and the staff works very hard to keep you happy. Thanks go out to Lester for all the help at check in!!
Also had a nice kitchenette.
