Hotel overall was great. Front desk staff was welcoming, friendly and loved the view of the bay. The back area was gorgeous. Room was fine but there was hair all over the shower wall and a false eyelash under the soap (luckily soap was sealed). Also wish there were better outlets. But regardless - proximity, view & staff I would still stay there again easily.

It was a cute spot for the night. Very close and walking distance from nice restaurants. And the pier in the back by the water was nice and peaceful during the day.

They did not have cleaning staff and still charged a resort fee when we arrived. It was later in October. I will stay again as it is reasonablyt priced, and great location. Great for a family.

This place was amazing! I’m usually an ocean front girl but this definitely changed my mind with a room literally on the bay and on the ground floor. I would definitely go back. And the ladies in the office were so nice. Hidden gem for sure.

Staff changed - Thank God!

We have been coming here for 30 years. It was unfortunate that the last few years, staffing was something to be desired, if you know what I mean. However, they have done an excellent job of getting rid of the riff-raff employees and hiring a new and smiling staff! Everyone was so great on our last trip there. We'll be back. Our room on the first floor, bay side, was updated with paint, carpet and pictures. But they do need to address the fridge area, screens on the patio door and those rickety-rackety a/c which have been there as long as we have been coming. When checking out, one guest said it sounded like a garbage disposal. I would have to agree. Very loud!

Pier. Great place for coffee and to watch the sunset.

Very nice, clean, well-maintained facility. Not fancy but more than adequate. We only stayed one night but rooms are equipped with mini kitchen area for longer stays. Large bathroom and spacious enough room. Easy in and out.
