There was water under the laminate floor that would seep through and make your socks wet while walking in the room. There is a gap in the front door that allows the moist ocean air into the room making it very humid and making everything feel wet including the clothes in our luggage that wasn’t brought out yet. There was also white mold on the curtains by the front door, probably from the moist air coming in through the gaps.

The hotel is old but it is clean and is up to date on amenities. The only thing I disliked was that the curtains were small and I had to clothes pin them together so that anyone trying to peep couldn’t see in. There were no shades. The door is glass and didn’t seem to latch well. But it was beachfront and inexpensive. The city has taken most of the parking so you have to double park or pay. The inn has came up with what seems to be a good system of getting more parking. But to walk out and be 10 yards or so to the beach and the year around heated pool i would have paid if i had too. Would definitely recommend and will stay again.

Check in was very quick. The room and overall look of the building is very very outdated. Room is dark, light fixture broken, tiny tv, terrible WiFi, limited parking…BUT THE VIEW!! Helps you overlook all that!! Direct walk out access to the beach/ocean. Nice outdoor space.

we booked 3 nights to go to the roar before first 2 nights we were awoken at 0230 in the morning by loud noises knocking on adjoining rooms. I believe there are people renting long-term at this motel. We picked it for the easy access to beach with our bikes. I would not recommend this motel we left after 2 nights parking is terrible they double park guest we had to go to the office to leave at 8 in the morning as we were unable to leave due to a vehicle parked behind us.

That said, there were a few things that could be improved. Some amenities felt limited, and a few small details—like noise or minor maintenance issues—kept it from being a truly great experience. Nothing was terrible, but it also wasn’t quite exceptional. Overall, Hotel is a solid choice for a short stay or a budget-friendly trip. With a few upgrades and extra attention to detail, it could easily become a higher-rated spot.

It is an older complex. But is in a great location right on the beach. We were treated very well. Parking is tight but that is not the hotel's fault. It is a lack of proper city planning, or even a strategy to try to eliminate the property. Regardless, it is clean, well-maintained for the most part and perfect for a good nights rest in a very well-protected area. The greatest benefit for us was the price. It freed up our budget for the things we wanted to do for extra entertainment and outings. It is not modern, but very acceptable. Contrary to reviews, it is not roach infested. It is Florida. If you don't see a roach, it is like going to the Lakes and rivers and not seeing an Alligator or a Manatee. We had a great stay and will stay here again should we return.

The jacuzzi tub didn’t work, it wouldn’t hold the water in. The door didn’t feel secure. We got blocked in by other cars that didn’t have a piece of paper. The bed was weird with the handles
