I LOVED this hotel so much. I’ve traveled a lot and never stayed at any hotel quite like this one. I was so sad to leave, I wish I could’ve just stayed there forever haha. The room was beautiful, clean, renovated and had a lovely view of the water. There was a park and courtyards between the buildings, dining options, a mini free library, 2 heated pools and every night there was a s’mores bar and hot chocolate from 6-8 and it was so peaceful. Not to mention the best part, it was directly across from the beach. What more could one possibly want?

Mini Milo for sure

It was probably the smallest room and bathroom I have ever seen or been in. I’m 78 years old and they put me on a 2nd floor with steep narrow stairs. It was hot and the air didn’t work. It certainly was not worth the price. The only parking was valet at 33$ a night plus tips for the men doing the parking. Not a place I would ever return to.

Not worth the nughtly cost

When we checked in, we received no real details about any amenities. Nothing about s'mores or the fire pit. Nothing about the bistro that appeared closed. The room was TINY. Nothing about this hotel seemed worth the price of the room. The view and location was nice.

Loved the beachfront location and ability to use the property’s bikes to explore the local area. The room was comfortable and had plenty of space for our one night stay. We only used one pool area but found it clean and warm. Really lovely stay and would definitely return!

The stay overall was good. Went during 4th of july weekend. Our room was a but different than the picture advertised. It was not modern like the pictured showed. ( We saw a room that looked like what was shown we booked online while being cleaned) The room itself has not been renovated. The fireplace did not work even though there is a sign to wait 3 minutes. The doors (main door and bathroom) looked worn out as well as some of the furniture:light fixtures, tv stand, decor. Overall, however being close to the beach and having a restaurant (Chad’s) a few feet away made up for it. Everyone part of the hotel was super nice. 10/10 on customer service. Would definitely book again because it has more pros than cons and its walking distance from many restaurants/night life/downtown, close to nearby attractions.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The first room we were in was by an alley on the second floor. Very noise, could not sleep at all. We spoke to the front office and requested a change. Then we were moved to a room by the pool. The TV remote control did not work nor did the coffee maker. We requested for it to be fixed. The rooms ARE really small. The hotel does not have a restaurant/bar/coffee bar. You have to walk to get any food or drinks. I think the price is too high for the quality of the rooms and service. I do not recommend this hotel at all.

My honest opinion on this property

Here’s my honest review starting with the positive: The location and close proximity to the beach, the pier, restaurants and shops made the stay worth the stay. The room: we stayed in room166, building 3- the one with the resort’s pool. If you are looking for a quiet, restful vacay, DO NOT stay in that building. People are loud, screaming kids playing in the pull till 10 pm. There a howling dog that drowned on for hours before hotel staff did so me about it. The lighting in the room was so dark, I felt like a vampire. I couldn't open the main window curtains because EVERYONE passing by could clearly see in my room. The shower glass door was missing, making for a very messy shower. The building is dated. I would give this hotel 2.5 stars if I could. The cost was not worth what I paid.

Very overpriced for an underwhelming room. Even though they did some cosmetic remodeling, the door was hard to close and every time you had to slam is shut, little pieces of drywall dust would sprinkle down. The steps going up were really steep. Beds and pillows could have been more comfortable. Location was perfect though
