I stayed in an oceanfront room for a couple of nights just to get away. This hotel room was the cleanest I've ever been in! It was lovely opening the sliding glass doors and hearing the ocean all night long. The only negative I can give is at the front desk. When I checked in, no one was at the desk but in the back room. I had to call to them to get service, but they came quickly. A bell would be a helpful addition!Thank you for a lovely stay!
Partial ocean view blocked by townhomes, but balcony was still nice. Room was clean and not cramped. Lobby area very cute and nice little poolside bar. Would stay here again!
Love being on ocean front :) Look forward to going there every year.

The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. Some of the furniture is outdated but nothing was damaged. Great location and ample parking are a plus.
As soon as we entered the hallway leading to the elevators, I felt that the hotel was a well-maintained property. The room was very nice. We had an ocean-view room, which was a plus! The receptionist at the check-in desk was very friendly and helpful. We had a bad light bulb in the foyer of the room, and the service staff came within minutes. I'd say the parking lot is convenient, but if it were busy, I think it would be dangerous. It should have mirrors at the corners so that you can see when another car is coming. There could be more lighting in the area where the sofa is located. I'd give the hotel 4 stars! We loved the location! We were able to walk to everything we needed.

Room was clean. Staff very friendly. No frills. Very outdated but worth the price & great location. Our room faced the ocean 3rd fl so we could see the ocean but the view was obstructed by the ugly row of rental row homes between us & the beach
