Beautiful beachfront - worn but clean
This is an older property that is beachfront and a short walk to town. Staff was incredibly helpful and kind. The rooms were old and kind of worn. This was a late booking for our family so we were happy just to be able to spend time at the beach, but if other properties were available, we’d probably stay elsewhere.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, right on the beach. Walking distance from pier . Rooms need updating and bed where not great.

It was nothing like the pictures, roach motel. We left as it was too disgusting to stay. Traveled 3 hours for total disappointment

I would do it different
This place is highly overpriced and the pictures online depict something that it is not. Run down, old, moldy, I could go on. Yes, it’s on the beach and in good walking distance to the basic area.
Jason, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I made a big mistake "booking" this hotel. 1st of all, it is no "resort" as it calls itself. 2 sets of towels for the weekend. 1 bar of soap and shampoo. They charged me $100 for a "mini bar" which included 2 sodas,2 beers, and 4 shots (which were probably stolen from an airplane. I was refunded the $100 after leaving. Pool was closed and beach chairs were locked down.
Roland, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Right on beach.
Dawn, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Well to start off the room did not even look clean all glass and window surfaces were cleaned with something that made them look very bad. The sheets on the beds looked dirty and the comforter was also stained. The location of the property is prime. They just need time and some elbow grease to get the place updated and would be happening spot. But as of now ill just say it was DIRTY
MELISSA, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

for the price i was very disapointed, there were stains on the curtains, walls, ceiling tiles and the fan in the room was so noisy it made it hard to sleep. I did like the location and the view from our room, but it seemed like i was staying in a 3rd rate motel.
Jacob, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Walked in after check in and the floor was covered in sand. Not sure when was the last time the room was dusted off but it was not clean. I had to borrow the house keeper cleaning supplies to clean the room myself and feel somewhat comfortable. Staff and surrounding area were really nice . No complaints on that part !
