We liked our stay. The hotel is well kept and staff were helpful. The room was not very big but it is an older hotel. The bathroom lacked any counter space. A shelf would have been nice. The property is in the flight path of departing jets, but it wasn’t all that bad. It was nice to be right across the street from the beach and there were many places to eat.

Never stay here on a Wednesday noght. The noise was horrible. I was originally staying 2 nights. The first time I went down to the desk, I cancelled my second nighjt. A couple hours later I turned in my keys, didn;t even stay one night. The room was very, very small considering the cost.

Kyler was great. The property itself was not good. Doors to rooms looked like they needed a good paint job, there’s a mildew smell in room, thermostat did not work as it was set and locked, no heat and wall (ambiance fireplace) didn’t work, phone did not work, refrigerator kept coming out and tipping over its housing under the makeshift counter, lamp went out because of a surge, no tissue by beds, and noisy in the courtyard. Not worth my money spent. The surrounding area felt very unsafe and there was various “shady” activities at night. Even heard a dog being abused outside the window. I would like a refund.

Loved the location & views! Beds were very comfortable. Only things that need improved are the thin walls, everything can be heard outside & the rooms next to & above you. Also very small bathroom.

Surrounded by homeless and drug addicted people. Very noisy and couldn’t leave the property without being approached to purchase drugs or asked for money.

Will recommend and come again!

Our room tidy upper was wonderful. After discussing our needs with her, she efficiently obliged all of our needs on our 5 night stay! Being an "on the beach" hotel, we did manage to bring sand into the room! When we returned in the evening, our room was ready to go. Kudos to her and the front desk staff! Jill

I ended up needing to book at 1am and Tracey was amazing! She was so kind and helpful and made me feel welcomed. I have always stayed here because of the great location and views of OB. And now I can truly speak to the outstanding hospitality of the staff too. Thank you!
