Best place going! Clean and close to the beach. Wish they had more beach loungers and umbrellas. They should tell visitors about reserving them ahead of time or as you check in.

The property is in a great location. Unfortunately our room smelled really bad; like raw sewage or an old dirty dish rag. We wondered if they were having plumbing issues.

Location. On the beach. No iron/board available. Tv not working. No staff available after 10p or late checkin after 10p.Tile floors slippery w humidty. Low water pressure, maybe due to water saving feature. No ice.

Great value and location! Older hotel but clean and big rooms. Loved cafe right at the hotel. After birding most the day took walks at the beach and ate most meals at the cafe. Parking was facilitated by a new parking attendant we made sure hotel guests were not squeezed out by cafe guests. We had a brand new king size mattress that was super comfortable. Would stay again.

Loved that we were right on the ocean! The hotel was affordable and had a reasonable cancellation policy as we were uncertain about our probability of coming. We had deluxe king rooms which were accommodating for everyone. The room was cleaned every day. Reviews mentioned parking was a problem but Will, the parking attendant, was hired to make it much easier for the people staying at the hotel to park. He managed to always put us in a good parking position for a large SUV. The cafe was awesome and was super nice that it was right on location. We ate there three times and the food and drinks were always good and prices were very affordable. Excellent value and great location.
