Decent place

Loved the proximity to the beach, the food court, and Anchor Bar at the hotel. Close to everything. However, the hotel could use a deep clean, as well as touching up paint, and room furniture.

Very nice location

Overall, I did enjoy my stay the property is very beautiful with phenomenal views of the beach with direct access as well. I didn’t like the breakfast because there were no prices on anything and you couldn’t get refills from the juice or coffee dispensers. Parking was another problem there are no designated parking spaces for ground floor rooms so we had to park too far away from our room every day of our stay. I would definitely start again & recommend this resort to others.

Although they allowed us to check in at 3pm,They put us on the 4th floor and didn't see an elevator until we were leaving. There was only 1 ice machine for 2 buildings so long walks. No vanity in the bathroom so hard to get ready. Coffee was in the fridge but couldn't find a coffee maker. Overall fairly clean. Did love the easy access to the Beach. Quiet area and easy parking

You can’t beat it for the price. I would say the bad reviews are from people that paid a budget price and expected better conditions.

I read so many bad reviews about this place. I was scared to death about checking in, but it turned out great. Yes, it's not the most updated hotel, but I'm fine with that. The view was amazing. The people we met were amazing. The staff was great. Brought us to towels and anything we ask for

It is nice that this hotel is on the beach however there were cockroaches in our room. The water pressure was awful and the hot water was messed up in our room. When checking in the woman at the front desk had our billing address wrong and it kept declining our card. She didn't try to figure out why she just stood there and looked at me with zero compassion. Will not stay here again.

Nice ocean view. Motel is older and needs updating. Lower bunkbed mattress was in need of replacement. Room was supposed to have hair dryer and didn't. I called and they said they would try to find one, never heard back. Ended up getting one at Walmart. Cafe was supposed to be open until 2pm and wasn't. Cleaning crew was helpful and friendly. Front desk staff was ok. Wouldn't stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I had the ocean view room, and I thought I had a balcony however, the room did not have a private balcony. The walk way to the rooms that faced the beach was all one continuous walk through and each room just had a designated area that can be perceived as a balcony. Due to it being an off-season when I went there was not a lot of people so it was OK but if I would’ve gone during a busier season and was anticipating a balcony and got what I got I would’ve been disappointed. The facility is in order facility. It looks more rundown, but it was tightly up cap and very clean.

The room was ok for a hotel stay for two nights and the price. I would suggest that doors need to have new weather stripping or leveled where you dont see daylight ciming from the bottom of the door and bugs coming in. The door to the balcony would stick when trying to open and close it as well. We didnt stay in the room except to sleep and the beds where clean but squeaky. Nightly checkin staff need to speak a little louder when talking instead of mumbling.
