It’s a very convenient place to stay. You can easily walk to the beach! The only thing is the rooms need major upgrades. The bed have dips in the middle, the shower heads need more water pressure. It’s hard to wash hair and get sand off with as weak shower head. The bathroom walls need to be wiped down from hair flyways and just overall dirty spots that need to be cleaned from others touching. TVs need to be mounted correctly as they are not straight on the walls. We didn’t get daily room clean. Did see the policy for room cleaning. Overall this is a place for beach convenience!

The property is older and in need of some update, but that is to be expected at the beach, at least in our experience. The traditional king was quite comfortable. The supplies upon arrival were certainly enough to get us through at least a couple of days. You can't beat the oceanfront view! We had a lovely break, exactly what we were looking for.

The sheets were old with yellow stains. The towels were gross. There were no sheets or blankets or pillows for the pullout. We had to go down to get sheets but they didn't have any pillows available. Coffee was 3 dollars a cup in the morning. There is no water available. The tiki bar was not open at any point during our stay in August. The paint was peeling in the lobby. The floor of the room was slanted. There was rust running down the door. There was mold in the bathtub. This property has great views but was otherwise disgusting and depressing.

It was not specified that the rooms are individually owned. Called the front desk and asked if there was a hair dryer available and the front desk said "I don't know, is there?" Why else would I be calling..... I told her I couldn't find one and asked if I could get one and she said "No, they don't belong to us". She was quite rude and didn't explain that each room has their own amenities.... Restaurant, coffee bar and Tiki bar were also closed without any prior warning.

Good Place to Stay

The only problem we had was with the restaurant. Saturday morning we went for breakfast placed our order and waited more than 1/2 before we found that they had lost our order ticket and then waited about another 1/2 before getting served. We only wish the waitress would have told us from the get go instead of us just sitting there asking several times how much longer and seeing everyone that came after us get served we were literally about the last to get served besides another couple. Although the waitress wiped out the charges it was a very unpleasant experience and the other waitresses/waiter also apologized, then for lunch we figure we try again and when we received the bill we were charged twice for a sweet tea drink when it was only one. Restaurant needs to shape up and be more careful of what they are doing!
