Cons: Our hotel room was 5 hotels from the pool and dining. “Clean” sheets had stains on it. One night ants were everywhere, on bed and even crawling on my 3 year old while he was sleeping. One of the cleaning lady’s was RUDE bc she came to do daily clean room while my son was napping. Doesn’t look like the pictures. Place definitely need to be updated. Parking limited and difficult to get in and out. Shower only had half glass so water got everywhere when showering. Pros: breakfast every morning. Right on the beach and quiet. Right near Barefoot, Tanger and good restaurants. Good family beach.

Got What We Paid For?

We never anticipate perfection at a beach hotel during the busiest months. The housekeeping and maintenance people were very friendly. However, the people at the front desk were hit or miss. Check-in women were great and gave good tips for unloading and parking. The first evening we realized the pull outs sheets had yellow stains and looked used, so we called and asked for an extra set of bedding and additional pillows. We also noticed holes in the comforters but didn't ask for extra since it was clean. My husband was told he had to come get them. Then the man didn't even step out of the back room and yelled from there that house keeping was bringing the bedding and when my husband asked about pillows he just said "we don't have more pillows, you have enough". Guess clean and adequate bedding was unrealistic. Breakfast was really good though inside dining is limited and outside isn't an option on rainy days. They do put it in tupperware though so you can take it back to your room. Kids loved the pool and close beach access. Room is cleaned and towels restocked daily which was nice! Don't anticipate actually cooking/eating much in the kitchenette because there's only random utensils and flatware. We had 3 plates, a couple forks, no spoons, no bowls, no paper towels. Overall it's manageable - we've stayed in worse. We'll probably spend the extra money to stay in a condo next time though so we get a real kitchen and know the bedding won't be an issue.

Once I arrived in my room, I wanted to freshen up after the long drive.Unfortunately, I only had 2 washcloths. The young lady at the front desk assured me during check in that the room is supplied with 3 sets of towels and washcloths. I contacted the front desk and they brought me additional washcloths. It is now time to rest. At which time it was determined that the sheet that was on the bed had a tear in them. I did not complain but it irked my spirit that I paid money and had to lay on torn sheets. However, my sister-in-law had bed bugs in her room. Pictures were taken and information was reported to the gentleman at the front desk. He suggested that she not stay there; however he had nowhere else for her to stay. So, I was inconvenienced by having 2 kids and 1 extra adult in my little room with me. It was my birthday weekend and I had no intentions on spending the night with 2 kids sleeping in my bed under the age of 5 nor did I want to be further inconvenienced by having another adult invade my privacy. The next day my sister in law was given a room. The next day, I asked the cleaning people to just change the linen. When we arrived back to the room after visiting the beach once again, I needed to freshen up. There were 3 towels but NO washcloths at all. I was livid. Once again, I contacted the front desk and was informed that they would send someone, however the cleaning lady is cleaning rooms but they would let her know. Soo patiently I waited. I called back to

We checked in at 8:30 PM on a Friday and even tho we had booked in April for July stay, our room was horrible, ground floor across from elevator and beside kiddie pool. However, staff worked very hard and we were moved to comparable room in much better location by 10 am the next day. Kudos to them for recognizing our request and accommodating. Everything aces with our stay thereafter.

The tiki bar on the internet gives the impression that they serve alcohol, which they do not, and only one elevator in the building. Not ANY of the coke machines worked and the lobby was not stocked with drinks or anything useful. The old man in the breakfast area was rude and outright disrespectful/obnoxious. Will not stay again.

The A/C unit was not cooling down the room so the whole stay we were very uncomfortable staying in the room, we decided to cut our trip short and head home because the maintenance man didn’t bother fixing it when we told him about the issue. The pictures of the property were a disappointment to where we actually had to stay. The parking was very limited. I will not be staying in this hotel ever again.

Breakfast was included and saved us time and money. Selections were good and the rotation changed daily. Options were plentiful and the quality was good. We were first given a bottom floor room with very limited view- stayed one night-asked to be moved and they accommodated us. Enjoyed the rest of the trip from a 7th floor room with a terrific balcony and beach view!

The room was not the cleanest. There was pee around the toilet and we found food under both beds. Curtains had mildew on them too. Pools are super small even though the pics make them look way bigger. Parking was HORRIBLE!!!! We never could park at the main hotel. I went to breakfast one morning and the line was so long. Come to find out all 3 buildings shared the same location for breakfast. With that said the day time employees were amazing and very personal!!! When I checked in on the 20th around 2:45pm the two ladies working the front desk were the nicest!!!!! One was working today when we checked out at 11am. Best thing about the hotel were those two ladies and how the hotel was directly on the beach. Next time I will probably pay more $$ to stay somewhere else!

I took my granddaughters for a beach weekend. The hotel served our needs just fine. It’s nothing fancy but great because it’s right on the beach. The room needs new pillows and the lazy river is suitable for little kids- not what you get at a resort. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.
