Wasn’t a horrible hotel, needs updated badly, plus if your staying with 3 or 4 people in a room really hard to get ready or do anything in the room. Bathroom is really small and couldn’t change bc there is zero room. Balcony looking the ocean was great. The beds were definitely not comfortable they replaced badly. Really hard to get an elevator due to one being broken took forever to go up or down. Took stairs 90% of the stay because of that. Neighbor were pot heads, don’t get me wrong I’m in favor of it being legal but when you have kids and they smell it, I don’t think that right. Do it privately in the parking garage or somewhere else not hotel room or hallways.staff was extremely friendly. Rating it overall 3.5/10

The place was nice and the front desk girls were nice and helpful. We took the stairs everyday because the elevator was very slow or broke. No big deal. 7 floors was good exercise if you are eating and drinking more than usual LOL Also our refrigerator had no temperature control, so everything froze. We told 2 different people but no fix. Location was excellent. Beach is so beautiful. Would I stay again? Possibly, but so many others to choose from for what we paid.

Views of the ocean were awesome. Beds were comfy. The hotel was bare-bones, lacked any polish. The staff wasn't really friendly, but the were not unfriendly. The think the staff should be retrained with an eye towards customer service.
