Beware of booking this property through Expedia. I booked an ocean view room and got a room that the view was the back of a building, not even a city view. When I talked to the front desk they were no help due to I booked through Expedia. In addition to the wasted extra money I paid, the room was bad. For 400+ a night I was highly disappointed to see a saggy mattress on the bed and the ceiling in the bathroom appeared to have water damage and a small hole above the rub. Hopefully no cameras but it was really sketchy. The only good part about this hotel stay was it was on the beach.

Ocean front hotel with free breakfast at a reasonable price. The first room we were assigned had a wet carpet and a visible belly to the bed. Staff quickly addressed the problem and moved us to another room. Front desk attendant was very friendly. I requested grab bars in tub. They called to clarify if i required full roll in shower. When we checked in, they remembered my needs and made me feel welcome. Overall, a pleasant stay at a reasonable price in an area where accommodations are very expensive. If we return to the area we would stay there again.

Property Needs Repair, Updating, Dingy overall.

So a couple of things. The property looks run down common areas ripped carpets broken tiles walls banged up. Our room had zero cold water in tub or bath. Started hot proceeded to boiling. Refrigerator took 6 hours to begin to cool drinks. Tub drain pulled all the way out, the whole assembly, hope room below no leaks. Staff were good to great but your property needs some updating. Being on beach helps but not feeling price of stay met any expectation for condition of property. Will not return to this particular hotel.
