The property has been renovated but it is still dated. However the location is excellent and the being on the beach, priceless. The pool and Bar next to pool were a definite PLUS. They need more showers at end of steps and not handicap friendly. Great for small family, young children if your on a budget and would like a nice beach getaway!

Loved the fact that the patio to our room walked right onto the beach!! The room was okay, atleast it was clean and had the wonderful beach access. I did NOT like the fact that they do not have an elevator and we had two flights of stairs to get to our room. The staff was great and very helpful. I would recommend as long as you don't mind stairs!

Honestly the room we stayed at was great for the price! We paid around $500 for 3 nights. The room was clean and it was right on the beach. However, it was definitely dated. The bathroom could use updating, and the parking is not ideal. It’s free but it gets full on the weekends and you have to park across the street. Overall it’s worth the price.

The views and the proximity of the rooms to the beach are simply incomparable. Everything else was fine, but I would recommend that—if they aren't going to install an elevator—they at least build a ramp so that guests can comfortably transport their suitcases and belongings to and from their rooms. The number of guests complaining about this very issue is countless; they should have done something already.

Walked right out to the beach! Although we didn't use the pool, we walked by it and it was clean. Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. Staff was helpful in recommending places to eat. Would definitely recommend this place.
Steps from our door right onto the beach!
The sunsets are beautiful!

The hotel initial looked older but we were pleasantly surprised at the updated rooms, comfortable beds, access out your door to the beach, and a great sunning and kids area. It has the outer feel of the older hotels but the comfort of new rooms. We would stay here again. Great staff.

The view was beautiful, of course. We stayed in a walk out patio room. The best one available! Probably my favorite place so far, super close , walkout beach access. The hotel is old, but very clean. The beds are hard. But, I’d definitely stay again.

The property was well maintained by the staff. The property is very outdated. It definitely needs to put money into updating the bathroom in the rooms. Rusty showers felt dirty. Bad shower heads, at least in our room. Very small bathrooms. The pool could use an update as well. The property definitely has a 70’s vibe due to the exterior which is not a bad thing but my 10 year old daughter felt scared to stay here when we arrived. The staff was very friendly and it looked as if every room would either have an ocean or pool view.

This property served its purpose - it was right on the beach. The rooms needed a good cleaning and sure, there was mold in the shower but I only had to shower there for one week. It is an older, very well used property. We had a walk out room to the beach which was well worth it. There is a ramp from 3rd (main) floor to 2nd but stairs from 2nd to 1st. Not ADA accessible on 1st floor.

Views from balcony was gorgeous, pool was nice! Easy beach access. Front desk staff were not helpful and sometimes rude. Our room was mostly clean, however we had no towels, no soap, coffee pot was broken. Asked for a new one and never got it. If you just need a place to crash and shower, this is it. If you want soap or towels or coffee, might not be the place for you. Bed was pretty stiff, we had lots of pillows though!

Room was not ready until 7 for a 4 pm check in. Had to chase down towels several times during the stay. Trash was not picked up and we had to do it ourselves. Had a charge added and will have to spend time getting it cleared. Loved the location and the place was charming. It is an older property and there are no elevators so expect to climb stairs.

The balcony, view and easy accessibility to the beach far make up for anything else. If you have any physical limitations I suggest you make sure you are on the ground level. The staff were great. We arrived off the road several hours before check-in and they allowed us to check-in early. I wish we could have stayed longer.
