Great location, beautiful area gorgeous views, good rooms. However, the property looks a little run down, the only restaurant looks very uninviting, the staff at the front desk were nice. Our fire alarm kept getting off, we asked to check it, nobody came in 3 days. Overall not bad, very convenient parking.

Only negative was restaurant/bar closed at 8pm. Went to have drinks at 8:15 and they were closed. Disappointing since there isn’t anything else nearby without driving to but it is Narch and not main season.

Nice hotel in off season.

Beautiful view, but the walls are so thin, it makes it hard to sleep.

My only complaint was parking. The deck is tight and gets crowded. But this location is great! Go see Shell at the bar! She is so sweet! My Mother is handicapped and cannot make it to the beach. She is not an alcohol drinker, but Shell made sure to keep her lemonade flowing as she sat at a nice umbrella chair/table enjoying the beautiful view! The breakfast was very good! All of the staff was nice and super accommodating!

This property has a lot of unused potential. The location and the views are wonderful. The front lobby appears to have been recently updated. The staff were friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the indoor pool and outside recreation areas. The indoor pool could also use some freshening, but it was fine. The outdoor seating was nice, and the beach access was easy to use. However, the outdoor hallways and the rooms themselves need work. The resort is composed of outdoor walkways which were worn and needs refreshing. Fixtures were rusty and need repainting. The room itself is best described as “putting lipstick on a pig.” The walls look sloppily painted and the vinyl baseboards were warped and stained. The doors had chipping paint and old knobs that have seen better days. The fixtures in the bathroom had some sort of buildup or moisture residue on them and the tub was stained. We were informed because it’s the off season housekeeping was by request only, which is fine, except before we even got unpacked we realized the floor was gritty throughout the space with sand. During our stay we did not have access to a broom or vacuum and this being a beach front hotel we couldn’t help but to track in even more sand. No dishrags were provided and the provided paper towels were single ply, making it next to impossible to wash the provided dishes. We didn’t use the hangers because of dust buildup. And the orientation of the beds caused light to shine into our eyes all night.

Overall ok. Staff did not go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The cable was not working in the bedroom and the light in the living room was not working either. There was hair in the newly made bed upon arrival. The people above us were so noisy my daughter could not sleep the first night we were here.
