"Our stay over the two nights we stayed at the Grand Hotel was very nice. Located right next to the beach, the views are fantastic. Good that there’s a lot of parking in front, on the side, and back of the hotel. The staff were very pleasant. The room and experience met our expectations, and even exceeded some. Highly recommend!!"

"I've stayed here several times. They've done a lot of updates, so everything looks like new. We had some firm pillows that made our sleeping hard but asked if they had soft ones and they brought them right to us. The rest of the stay was so much better. Their continental breakfast used to rotate english muffins, bread for toast and bagels but sadly the 5 days we were there it was just bagels. It would be nicer for long term customers to rotate choices. I'll definitely stay there again. Love the view and location to shops and night strolls in the neighborhood."

"The pictures are accurate and the place was clean! The location was awesome! We were there while the weather wasn’t the best but definitely enjoyed being able to watch some surfers. The pool looked awesome and clean, we didn’t get to use it but it looked great. This place is what you would expect with an older beach motel. It was priced just right and was a perfect place for us to lay our heads after a long days of family wedding activities."

8/10 Good
"The Ocean Club was a great, last-minute choice for my husband and I for a getaway weekend. The location is facing the beach, where beach chairs and umbrellas await, and a reasonable walk to the shopping street. All staff members were friendly and accommodating and the DJ at the pool kept up a great Playlist. Having said that, this is not a 5 star property (or restaurant) although the price for this weekend would suggest it. Just saying."
