This room was not clean, had an odor. It was cleaned after our first night. We complained about the noisy fridge twice and missing weather stripping under the door. We were compensated 20.00. We have stayed here before and had no issues. It is a wonderful location, fabulous views, but this room needs repairs. We will not return.

Absolutely love it there. Reminds me of a little apartment I had back in the 70s with the cute little stove. But of course the best thing about it is the view and being right on the beach. I mean, that is just totally awesome. That’s why it’s the best place to stay if you’re gonna be in the area because otherwise you’re just in a glass box at least here when you open the glass sliding doors in the window You are at the beach and it’s a wonderful feeling

For this hotel, you are only there for the convenience to the beach, which is very convenient. You are literally a few steps from the beach. But that's it. There is no cooling at all: no a/c, not even ceiling fans. It gets very hot in the room. The noise is unbelievable from the main street right next to the hotel. And the beds are very small and very uncomfortable. My wife and I barely fit on the bed without any room to move. It has a small kitchen which is nice but the heat is too much. The rooms are old with some remodeling but at least ceiling fans would help alot. and one of the beds is in the living room. The room was ocean view, but barely since there is another hotel right next to it that blocks most of the view. The price you pay is just for the location. I would not stay here again.

It was convenient to park your car for the weekend and never have to get back in it until you go to leave. The shops and places to eat and the beach are right there so that is convenient. The reason I give a one star or terrible is because the beds are so bad that you can’t sleep. I ended up sleeping on the couch two nights. The shower is way too small and you bang your head and elbows off the shampoo and soap dispensers.

we liked the location; we were only a 3-minute walk to the beach. Free parking, all the dining & shops were about a 10-min walk. Our favorite restaurant to eat was about a 10-minute walk. The bed in our room was rather difficult for us. (we're seniors). The bed was sitting a bit high & we needed a stool for my wife. The bed was also against the wall on one side, so you were only able to get out of bed on one side. I'm pretty sure there were other rooms that would have been more suitable for someone in our age group. But we Loved the area we were staying. I would recommend staying here.

Expect more!

The best thing is that it’s close to the beach but our room was ready close to six pm instead of 4 pm as there was only one housekeeper working on a Monday holiday weekend which is weird! TV didn’t work for channels or on demand and it’s an old tv model which doesn’t give you access to your Netflix account, other thing is the noise from the upstairs room you can pretty much hear any steps from guests upstairs, I usually don’t complain but for the amount I paid I was expecting more I guess!

Excellent location. Understandably this is not an upscale property and the main value is in its location. But I think there are a couple of easy fixes to improve the customer experience a lot. We stayed in Room 141 - the blinds don’t work fully and being right next to the parking lot and the walkway it is hard to sleep. Some real blackout curtains would be very helpful. Another problem is in hot summer days there is no effective cooling. One of our bedroom had a ceiling fan and that runs extremely slow and is ineffective, the other bedroom had none. We called the office and asked if there are tower fans. There was none - I think adding some modern functioning cooling options to the guest rooms will greatly improve experience.

Hotel Staff SUCKS!

First they do not answer thier phone! Could not confirm reservation or unit as requested. Then poor attitude from staff in giving customers any time at counter. Room was below sidewalk so every foot step was heard. There was a metal gate attached to the room wall that clanged LOUDLY with every public and resident who walked through ALL NIGHT LONG.

Anniversary weekend

This is not a hotel, it’s more like a motel 6. Definitely not worth $300+ per night. Arrived and checked in Friday. Went to our room 136, which had not been cleaned yet. We had to return to the office and wait for them to call about 30 minutes later. The way the bed is set up in room 136, my husband to climb over me to get out of the bed. Just a weird set up and cob webs in the ceiling, the toilet rocked when you sat on it. Just gross honestly. Expedited more for the price. Location is great that’s about it.
