Continental breakfast was more than expected. They had yougurt, pastries, oatmeal, cereal and milk, but also packaged sausage biscuits and waffles that could be warmed up along with coffee and juice. The room was a good size for a double room. We appreciated the microwave and mini fridge/freezer combo. The walk to the beach is just seconds and you don’t have to find parking which is the cherry on top! The shower had low pressure and the head could use replacing but that did not hinder our experience. We had a great time and I would absolutely stay here again!

We would not stay here at half the price. Rooms are old and dated. Hotel charges a fee to use a credit card. And the kicker is a beach hotel does not provide towels for the pool or the beach. You have to buy them at 20.00 a pop. Do your self a favor and avoid the place.

The staff was on top of it, from check in to check out. I didn't need new towels or anything during our stay, but the kids left a mess on the floor from changing out of bathing suits. Housekeeping was more than happy to assist in vacuuming up our room while we were there.

Check in was good. After checking in and as we were preparing to put our stuff in the cabinets I noticed that drawer under the phone has juice box that was opened and juice all over the drawer. I took the picture of it and went to front desk to show the mess it created and was told it would be taken care of..... As the day we left the mess was never touched!!. On our second day, the cleaning crew totally skipped our room so I had to chase them down and asked why our room was not being cleaned? She said she didn't know that we wanted cleaned and I said well, I didn't know I needed to ask to have our room cleaned and have clean towels put in. She asked what do you need done? I asked just to replaced our towels and quick clean. After several minutes she came back with handful of towels and left them by the sink and left. Nothing more was done... I will never return to this hotel, NEVER!!

The pictures of this motel are very misleading. The building is older, and the renovations done did not include carpeting or bathroom updates. The moldy smell in the room triggered my allergies, making sleep nearly impossible. The room was full of dust, and it was clear that the cleaning had been done to a minimum. I was very disappointed in the room, but because it was spring break, finding another place to stay was hard.

The continental breakfast was nothing but cereal and sad looking pastries. We stayed long enough to have cleaning service which amounted to the maid coming in throwing the comforters over the unmade beds and leaving two new towels without taking the dirty ones. They dumped one trash can. The hotel is very convenient to the beach which was the main reason we stayed there. I’m not sure if I would stay again. It was a lot of money for so few amenities.

The rooms are clean and spacious. One building is newer than the other so some rooms are a bit dated. There’s a pool and a sunroom to enjoy the beach view while sheltering from the wind. There are beachside cafe tables if you’d care to picnic. Rooms are equipped with fridge/freezer and microwave. Rooms in the newer building have balconies. Clean and comfortable, will definitely return!

Disappointing stay. The room was very loud, from people in the next room. The parking situation was very tight. We were in a room in the main building, I guess, that is set back from the beach. So we had a very small view of the beach. Breakfast was not good. Overall I expected better, for the price.

Our biggest complaint is that the TV in the room didn't work. It wasn't just our room, it was the whole property. The first day we arrived and it wasn't working, the staff said they were working on getting it fixed. The next day we saw a Xfinity truck so we had hope it was going to be fixed, but no. Xfinity said nothing was wrong on their end. The message on the screen said the device was not activated. We stayed FIVE nights and it was not fixed when we left. Of course we weren't there to watch TV, but at night we want to turn on the TV to relax. This wouldn't have been an issue if the TV's in the room were smart TV's so we could login to our streaming apps. But they were not. We ended up using our laptop to have something on at night but this was really disappointing.

My other complaints are that the pool is VERY SMALL and I don't believe there is any chlorine in the pool. I'm also not sure that it was a heated pool, although they would put a cover over it that heats the water.

We stayed in the hotel rooms and the bathroom is soooo small. There was hardly any water pressure from the shower and there wasn't much variation in water temperature. We were supposed to get clean sheets after 3 days but I don't think that happened. The property is just old and outdated.

The beach is amazing and close! So if that's all you care about, maybe it's perfect! There are some restaurants close but you mostly have to drive to them.

The staff person that I talked to was very nice.

The location is great, but I paid all this money to not be able to relax in between time because the cable was off the 1st 2 days, maybe all 4 days,I didn't stick around to find out, I loss money on the last 2 days, because my wife can't stay out all day because she has MS so television would've been a plus, or at least a heads up before checking in. I found out later that it was off before we were scheduled I know the staff couldn't do anything that's probably a corporate issue. Staff is friendly but unfortunately there were some leftover hair on toilet, dirty clothes on very top shelf, the drawers had old stuff in it that just wasn't wiped out. The fridge was filthy I'm sorry for the review but all these things were true. But like I said the staff is awesome, but for housekeeping job sake I would definitely tighten up a wholeeee lot with cleaniess may want to keep a more prestine eye.

The beach was great & staff were very friendly & helpful. The room was older & run down. I had the drain in the tub snaked but it still backed up easily. The air conditioner would not go below 74 degrees. The tv system was down the whole time we were there. Not that we are on vacation to watch tv but we like to watch tv prior to going to bed.

We stayed two nights. The first room they gave us was musty and the vent didn’t work in the bathroom. We couldn’t stay in that room due to allergies and were happy when the front desk staff helped us out. They moved us to a much better room in their Bed And Breakfast next door and we had a restful night. Would recommend staying in the B&B if you have an option! Great beach access too.
