Room was clean, bed was nice but there was a strange odor in the room. The in room coffee pot still had foul smelling water in it so I went elsewhere to obtain coffee. The shower head needed cleaning to improve the flow. Otherwise staff was ver helpful and welcoming. The decor is very appropriate and location is supurb.

Do not book through third party. I was overcharged. Look at the shores site. Half of the pictures on this site aren’t even the hotel I stayed in. Definitely deceiving. You’re not on the beach, but you are in walking distance. Things were questionable here. I think people lived at the hotel…? Very odd vibe. Luckily we were barely there. Wouldn’t go back.

Charged an extra charge for a "third party booking". Cold water for shower. Truly nothing special. Go down the street and pay the extra for the view. I wish I did

This place was disgusting. The room was nothing like the photo, the water only got to luke warm for our showers, the towels were dingy, the walls were very thin and you could hear every sound. I believe there were people who lived there full time and the staff was rude and completely useless. Then to top it all off one of the beds had bed bugs and we left with bits covering our entire body. We were also over charged and the hotel refused to credit us for the double charge of the “hotel fee.” This place should not even be an option on Expedia it was terrible, disgusting, and completely gross and the staff was rude, unprofessional and awful, they even hung up on my husband when he tried to talk to them about the over charge. Do not stay here!

Needs an Upgraded hot water system as the water was cold or Luke warm at best plus the bathtub leaked and it was hard to get jacuzzi going and stopping. Beds were way to soft and you could feel the other person move your body when they get in and out if the bed because there was no support. Chairs should be wider and more comfortable. The tv came on in the middle of the night.

This is a horrible property and the owners overcharged for booking on a third party site. In the middle of the night, the battery for fire alarm went dead and caused the unit to trip with ear piercing shrills. The ice machine is dead and seems they have no urgency in providing ice. The room was dirty with sand on the floor. The TP ran out. All the front office gave was lip service. The parking worked. The location wasn't bad.
