Perfect

Great room with a view of the beach and the town. Quiet and spacious. A good nights rest in a renovated room with a king sized bed. Everything was great. We liked how the bathroom had a door for privacy and his/hers sinks outside of the toilet/shower area. Very smart!

Quick fall get away

We went down for a short one night stay to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather for November. We were able to access the boardwalk directly from the hotel. We were very pleased with the size of the room and the amazing coastline view from our balcony. The staff was very helpful. It would have been nice to have a microwave in our room, but we did make use of the coffee maker. This was the first time that we stayed at the Port-O-Call, but we will consider coming back next year.

I was there in the off-season the pool and restaurant were closed yet they still insisted on charging a $40/night resort fee, which was not disclosed anywhere until check out. It was not disclosed by Expedia and was not disclosed at check in. Went to check out and they said, would you like to put the balance on your credit card? what balance!!! they insisted on charging resort fee, despite the fact that I never even saw a single staff person in the hotel, not in the gift shop, not even a person at the front desk until I checked out. The two days I stayed the pool was closed, the restaurant was closed yet they expect to get $40 for a “resort fee”.
