Ok the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Especially John at the front desk, and the the valet guys were awesome Mathew. But unfortunately the room could have been a little more cleaner. The floor were a bit dirty and the bathroom could have use some Clorox. But location is perfect close to everything.

Property seems clean. Staff are friendly. Room does not have a microwave, somewhat inconvenient. My family enjoyed roasting marshmallow on the beach, a plus. Pool and hot-tub were great, just the right depth, safe for non-swimmers to have some pool time without drowning concerns LOL. Yard with ping-pong table and cute sitting area. Suggest some aroma for the hallway and rooms as it has a slightly unpleasant odor. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Great location, very old and run down hotel. Elevators were mostly broken and took several minutes to arrive (there was a sign about repairs but according to other guests, the signs that repairs were taking place were put up 3 months ago). Rooms were reasonable but were repaired here and there with rough patches. The hotel would profit from some repairs overall but the location is great. There was no room service during the 3 days that I stayed. So in short, great location, high price but run down hotel.
