This is a very clean quaint place to stay that had good pricing for my stay. Beautiful view of the ocean great amenities wish the restaurant and bar had been open. We will be back!
The staff was very friendly. The view of the beach and the balcony was amazing! It was so nice to walk right to the beach with our small baby. Parking was good and the room was clean!
My stay here is always amazing. I look forward to staying here and enjoying this beautiful hotel and the beautiful beach at least 3 times a year. It is my own little getaway and my own self-care. I can’t wait to go back in August!
Weve stayed at this hotel in the past..it now has a new name, a new look and they are doing a wonderful job remodeling and just creating a wonderful comfortable atmosphere. We will KEEP coming back!!
Late to get checked in bc they said previous guest were late to check out. They floors were so sandy in the room, shower head was broken and just poured water all over floors.
We arrived, room not clean, three hours later they moved us to different room. Got key to room, went up 7 floors, key dosnt work. Went down to desk many others in line because of key issue. The smell of pot every day and night. Next day key issues.
Do not go here if you are going to relax. Very stressful..
Our experience was so bad that we decided to switch to a different hotel for the second night of our trip. The rooms are small and uncomfortable, but we would have made it work except that for our second night, we were told housekeeping was not available. This is exceptionally uncomfortable when staying by the beach! On our first night, there were people screaming at the pool, and when we called the front desk, it got better for about 5 minutes before the yelling started again. When we shared all of this with the staff and said we'd be going to a different hotel, they were indifferent - they actually made me stand at the desk while the staff finished up "something else" and then said I could just leave. What a terrible experience.
Family friendly hotel. Wonderful friendly and helpful staff. A must stay!! A playground for the kids large seating area outside to spend time with family. Great pool and hot tub.

Nice location but the room was not clean and in a state of disrepair. Rust, broken ceiling, not clean, a little moldy.
We have booked here several times and always have a wonderful stay. No complaints at all. It's a pet friendly, family and couples welcome retreat. All rooms are oceanfront. Beach chairs provided with pool hot tub and fitness room. Excited for the restaurant renovations to be completed for our next visit!
