Upon entering my unit, I was met with a toilet overflowing with urine. A roach was also present within the bathroom, which I promptly eliminated using a towel. Despite attempting to contact the front desk, the phone in unit 216 was unresponsive. Additionally, the bathroom covers appeared to be excessively soiled and unpleasant to the touch.

Second room was better but little concern was shown for the state of the first room we were put in.

Cute beach town hotel. The hotel Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and updated. (I liked our room on the third floor the best) The outside of the hotel could use a refresh but it was clean. We used the pool on the other side of the hotel. It was really nice and had loungers.

Parking was good. A/C was loud temperature was less than cool. In high level to loud to sleep. Room was clean but no service unless requested. Advertising of the complex don’t match the listing beach was advised as step from hotel when in fact it was 10 min drive or a 25 min walk. The water in the bathroom came out kinda yellow running water don’t notice but if you fill the tub absolutely and you can see it in the bowl. Use bottle water to rinse mouth. Would not use this place again and do not recommend it. Please this is just my opinion. It was a last minute reservation had to fine something quick and those are the resort. Give it a 11/2 start.

The word “palace” is very far from the truth. Motel is more like it. Although the staff was friendly, the place was disgusting. The room was overpowered with a cleaner smell. Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. Dirty curtains and shower curtain. The air-conditioning unit was so loud it kept waking us up. I’m also pretty sure that using extension cords plugged in behind the bed for lamps phones etc isn’t safe. The one pool was disgusting. Had a nasty film over…the weeds are growing through the concrete everywhere around the pool. It’s like the place went downhill…Somebody else bought it and cheaply fixed it up. The pictures about the place online must be from 20 years ago!

The water was discolored - yellowish to a light brown when you run water in showers and faucets. We called the front desk due to let them know - it’s an issue due the city flushing out water lines- hops to improve by fall of 2026. They did not do a wake up call as requested. Room was clean but the property was run down- needs some updates for sure.

The room itself was clean and had a great smell. However the shower curtain hooks definitely had mold on them and around the shower was not the cleanest.The AC only kept the room cool if it was running constantly. If you aren’t a hot sleeper, then the AC is just fine! The staff were super friendly and very helpful.

When we pulled in we noticed that the property looked nothing like the pictures online. Check in was easy. We got to our room and surprisingly it was nicer than we thought. Fast forward to bedtime…..We pull out the sheets to get in bed and find that the sheet had dried feces on it. I bring it down to the front desk and get I am so sorry. This is unacceptable. I’ll have a manager call you in the morning. Morning comes and no call. We check out and leave for our cruise. We get back from the cruise and have to stay 1 more night there as we already paid for it. We get back to the hotel to check in and had to wait to get in a room. Which was fine as it was only noon. We finally get into our room and it smells so musty and mildewy that we wanted to gag! Go into the bathroom and there is what looks like to be mold on the ceiling in this bathroom. This room we got this time was definitely not as clean as the other room. When you book online there is apparently 2 different types of properties here. A club and a resort I believe she called it. I don’t recall ever getting any choice when I booked. I just booked a double bed room and got the resort side I believe. Now the club side did look nicer. The pool and patio side was definitely nicer. It’s been 6 days and my deposit is still on my card as pending……Unsure why it is still showing pending as all we did was check in that day, go to dinner and back to sleep as we had to be up at 4am to get to the airport. I would not stay Again.

Horrible condition, hotel is actually an old motel that needs renovation. You have to exit the hotel entrance walk outside in the dark parking lot to a building next door to enter the rooms from the outside. It reminds me of an old movie with motels. The doorway around the bathroom entrance was very dirty and needs paint touch ups, the bathtub is stripping, wash rags and towels were old and tattered! Everything about this place gave me and my family creepy

The room looked clean. But the floor wasn't clean I put on a pair of socks 3 times in one day then I just kept my slides on. Parking was ok only time I herd anything from the staff was when they called me while I was in the room to tell me they had messed up my booking I was supposed to stay till Sunday but I Friday morning. Also room was left in perfect condition an I still don't have my 200 dollar deposit back? They just keep giving me the runaround saying it must be your credit card cause we gave back the deposit I'd put my statement up here if I could I never got the deposit back. So just because of that I'll never be back. An if your like me a need money on your card I'd book with someone else.

The parking was the best part of the stay. The room just felt dirty. The pillows were old and the air conditioning was way too loud to use. They took a resort fee that I was not expecting also a $100 deposit that I won't get back for 4 to 5 business days? The room wasn't worth what I paid and I definitely won't stay here again. The location was good but I didn't stay there for the beach. I stayed for the price and I definitely got what I paid for which was not much.

This place is a mess! Rooms are disgusting, no where near the beach, people smoking right outside the office doors.
They are also thieves. We stayed on our way to catch a cruise, we left 3 brand new shirts and a pair of formal shorts we had just purchased in Fort Lauderdale and we realized we left them hanging in the closet, as soon as we boarded the ship and called. We were promised they would have them at the front. Came in directly 4 days later as we disembarked and were told no one said anything nor found them. They had us standing there 30 minutes while they “looked for it” But became insulted when I called them thieves.
Do not stay here!!! I never ever leave bad reviews

Disappointing m! We reserved the Honeymoon suite with jacuzzi tub. When we arrived after a 5 hour drive, we were told that the room was not available due to an unexpected broken window. They didn’t charge us the parking fee and resort fee to compensate- but the only reason we selected this hotel was for the jacuzzi tub. They said we could cancel but we were in town for a wedding the same day and no time to look for another hotel. I think we should have been compensated more accordingly!!

I absolutely loved the location of this place it was perfect however the “hotel” gave motel vibes there was black mold in the ceiling bathroom. When we got there the toilet was clogged…the front desk sent someone to fix it. We left to dinner and came back to water all over the bathroom floor. The location is perfect.

This hotel was disappointing. I would not stay here unless I was a smoker and wanted to be able to smoke where I was staying.,Although the room seemed clean, the glass was cracked in our large window. The outside area right outside our room and the pool area was littered with dirty ashtrays and there were frequently people smoking there. Empty water bottles and towels were left lying around for over 24 hours altho I did see someone vacuum the Pool the two mornings we were there and the water appeared cleaner than the pool deck. Front desk was perfunctory. Strong deodorizer smell in the rooms,

We felt by looking at the pictures, the beach was literally across the street from the hotel- but it was NOT! U had to walk across the street and down approx a block and then turn and walk towards the ocean. Room was clean, U had to request maid service yourself by a certain time of day or U wld Not get it- rooms have been updated and clean- but VERY BASIC. The pool at Ocean Beach was nice- we had an issue wth the tv and someone was up IMMEDIATELY to help- which was appreciated!

Room very clean! Pool was great! Not so close to a lot of Restaraunts walking to so would have to uber. We Ubered to Lauderdale-by-the sea, it was a quick drive. The only thing about this hotel is that our room was in the other building they own and when looking at uber or Lyft another address was popping up with a different address number. And it was so confusing but no one had told us it was a different address. Thought buildings were all same address so we had to ask front desk and they said yes your building is at “ this address”. It would have been nice if they told us that ahead of time because we waisted time and effort and canceling an uber trying to figure things out. After we did, it was a very nice place. And McDonald’s right across the street.

Roaches in room 215. MOLD filled bathrooms, drapes, lampshades, backboards where they tried to bleach the mold away. We were moved from room 216, filled with mold and musty smells, then room 106, even worse, then moved to room 316. Then we get a knock on the door from manger saying they are moving us BACK to original room 216 and that they hired a professional cleaning service to clean room. But what actually happened was they rented out the room to another couple who we saw leaving the next morning. We spoke to them. They also complained to manager about mold and ended up booking another hotel. Homeless people knocking on doors in the middle of the night. We called security. And there was yelling etc sounded like a pretty big argument. When we went to front desk next morning about what happened, we were told no one was doing anything. My kids were at pool and approached by a homeless person because there is NO security. Everyone and anyone has easy access to the grounds and hotel rooms. Police activity another night. A man on the third floor balcony staring disturbingly at my daughter. When I told him to please stop. He said “ I live here for three months, I can do what I want” and he blew her a kiss. A maid knocked once and only once did not wait for a response that it was ok to come in to room and walked in on my daughter in law getting out of tub. Each time we complained to management we were told we were lying, or that it didn’t happen etc. UNSAFE!!

The room was clean and was OK for our one night stay. I do feel like I was misled. I was under the impression this place was on the beach. It is not. It’s across the street. The motel is outdated. The outside has a run down look to it, in my opinion. Personally, I expected something entirely different for 315.00 a night. Just being honest

Our stay was okay overall, but the room could really use a heater it was freezing during our visit. I know it’s not always that cold, but we happened to come during record-breaking weather. The news mentioned it hadn’t been that cold in 15 years! The remote control was also very sticky; I used my own Clorox wipes and it came off quite dirty. The showerhead had some mold and probably needs to be replaced. On the positive side, the location was great close to the beach and fine for a two night stay. It would also be nice if the hotel added a washer and dryer for guests. We were headed on a cruise and needed to wash some clothes after those couple of days there. The staff is pretty nice.
