Seems like it was quickly and cheaply renovated. Overall just dirty and can hear all the neighbors. Should have spent the extra money for somewhere a little nicer.

Overall “pleasant” stay mainly because of the view/balcony and jacuzzi which we had to manually clean, which was expected. What I didn’t expect was having to clean MOLD in the shower. There was honestly mold a lot of places. Room could’ve been way better and cleaner for the price point. Had to pay for ice as well, which was unusual. Can’t beat the location of though, definitely saves this place!

Not what we expected

Easy beach access, they are remodeling. Our room had a kitchen, but no cookware, and was told by the manager she didn’t know when they would arrive. We went to Walmart and spent over $50 to be able to cook the food we brought for the week. I asked to speak to the manager for a discount, she said, “I am the manager,” I can’t give you a discount, if you don’t have towels or bed sheets, we’re not sure when our linens will arrive. Our room (512), had paint all over the room, splatter on the coffee pot, floor, bathtub, pretty much everywhere you looked. Beware, this is not a resort. But you pay a resort fee to have beach access, complementary breakfast (pastries, yogurt, and coffee), use of the pool, and parking is limited. You may have to park across the road. Pay the extra money elsewhere and enjoy your stay.

What I appreciated about the hotel was its beachfront location and the beautiful view—it was definitely a highlight. However, the actual experience didn’t match what was advertised online. When I arrived, one of the beds had dirty sheets, and the pull-out bed in the back room hadn’t been cleaned or changed. The balcony had significant rust, the AC unit wasn’t functioning properly, and the bathtub would back up during showers. I also noticed that some other areas of the hotel were showing signs of rust and wear.

It’s cheap for a reason do not stay here and save your self a head ache. On arrival our room had no towels, no shower curtain, and ac was not working and a repair was attempted but was told it would be the next day before it could be completed. If you like the smell of weed this is the place for you.

In need of a few repairs

Beds were comfortable and clean. The floor of my room was not swept and full of sand. I did find housekeeping and she swept it. Plenty of towels in the room but none at the pool. Renovations were going on during my stay so they are making improvements. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Love seat in my room needs thrown away! Zippers on cushions wouldn't zip and they were filthy/stained. Lighting isn't very good in bathroom and there were stains on there as well. I probably would stay again because of the beach front location and nice pool with pool furniture. Staff was accommodating with any request I had.

The best part was being right by the ocean and great views. Staff were very helpful and kind. The pool was nice but a little dirty, same with the hot tub. They are in the middle of renovations on a few floors. So there was construction debris here and there. The room itself was ok but dated. The floor still had hair on them in the bathroom. Are biggest issue was the smoking from other guests from the porches even though it said no smoking. It was so bad the smell was coming into our ac units. So we weren’t able to use the porch as much as we would have liked.
