Bed was pretty worn in on one side and not very comfortable and It was verry easy to hear outside conversations. Other than that not your worst choice by any means. No bugs and the sheets where clean👍 p.s. to the uninformed, if you are under 25 you will be charged a "Damage Waiver" of 55$" unless someone older than that is present.

Front desk staff friendly but not all of them knowledgeable. Not terrible for what you pay for as far as rooms. The tv didn’t work and the rooms have seen better days (popcorn ceilings, textured walls). Our room is very dark and doesn’t offer a lot of natural light. If in a wheel chair or walker, there are stairs from the elevator to the rooms.

When we 1st got to the hotel they made us wait for another room because they double booked our room we rented. The is NO elevators to help get your suitcases or anything to your room. We were told the beds were queen and come to find out they were full size. And parking is VERY limited we couldnt find anywhere to park the last night we were there so we checked out early because the front staff didnt want to help they just kept saying thats not our problem. The AC unit barely worked same with the refrigerator.

Loved how it was really close to the beach but with my experience with the tub and toilet was not so great. Toilet would keep getting clogged and we would have to contact someone every so often. The tub at one point also got clogged after a 10 minute shower. Other than that it’s pretty convenient

Did not know it was bike week when we booked but it turned out ok. I was surprised to see that the beds were double instead of queen. A tight squeeze but definitely would have preferred queen beds.

Great location but lacking in other areas.

The staff was great however the room wasn’t worth the 200 a night we paid. The beds were old or over used. You can feel the springs while sleeping and when my husband played down next to me, I rolled to the side he’s on because the mattress was so old or cheap that the springs wouldn’t support the person. The tub would hold water while the shower was on and the shower wouldn’t spray very well because the water would come out of the tub faucet and the shower head at the same time. There was sand on the floors and a dead calcified cockroach stuck the ceiling in the bathroom. The location was great and being right on the beach was a plus. There was a restaurant and food on site as well. We were told at check-in that our checkout time was 11 AM however someone was knocking on our door at 10:30 AM telling us check out was at 10 AM.
