Horrible rooms- bathroom were not clean. Brown chunks come from the shower/tub. It’s hard to get the rooms clean- even going to the front desk and asking won’t guarantee a clean room. Will not be staying here again.

Hotel location was right in the middle of everything!! It was great! Very walkable even for people like us with foot and leg issues. Room location wasn't so good. Paid extra for the beach view, but that was kind of blocked by a building and we were put over a restaurant/bar. Also, loads of towels were available! It is an older hotel, but it was clean and neat. Loved the wide inner hallway. Parking under the hotel is an issue so beware. Had to pay $76 more for two vehicles in the public parking area. Overall, I would come back. You really can't beat the hotel location.

The pool was under construction and we didn’t mind that, but we didn’t realize that meant that our room would be right next to the pool, and jack hammering started at 9am every morning. My boyfriend also fell in the elevator because a railing came off. The level of construction happening here should have had the place close down for a week. Our trip was great despite how awful the hotel was.

Would stay again and again.

Great hotel, I have stayed here a couple of times and while it isn’t as fancy as some, I’ve always received great service. It is also always clean, comfortable and affordable.

The lady at the front desk, it was very rude. The room air condition didn't work very well. The shower would not drain so when you took a shower. You had water built up for 15 minutes. And an elevator didn't hardly work. No one told us the pool was not usable and that they was doing demo on it. And I also had to park my truck. Add a different parkin lot and pay an extra forty dollars to stay for two nights

Not what it used to be!

The room was very clean and the housekeeping staff were awesome. Check in was less than welcoming and the state of upkeep and repair of the room were subpar. Been staying here for years and the decline was gradual but now it’s just sad.
