    The first room had thin walls that you could hear the people next door.

    The staff was helpful. I did move rooms during my stay to get a seaside view. That room was more updated than the first room. It had multiple electrical outlets in the room. It was very clean.

    We didn't get to use our Balcony at all due to the people beside us smoking weed the whole entire time.. Even though they're signs inside of the room stating it's not allowed there, but it went on the hotel we was there.The pictures we did get take off the balcony was the morning before they checked in.

    We loved the view of the beach and ocean. .. The hot tub was amazing..

    My neighbors were very loud and because there was a door between our optional adjoining rooms, I could smell the pot they were smoking. Also the kitchen was in dire need of a renovation as the microwave was rusty and the cabinets were icky. The fridge froze all my food and some was ruined.

    It was an excellent value for the location. Please note I was staying across the street in the older place that was not on the water. Also, I couldn't be confident that the bedspread was clean and the spare blanket was not really an option. I brought in my own bedcovers.

    Initially we booked a room in the second house across the street. This room was smelling bad and the window was facing the parking lot. We solved the problem by investing 50 USD IN an upgrade. No breakfast available.

    The final room in the main house had a very nice beach view. Direct beach access. Free coffee 24/7.

    The lady that checked us in could have been a bit more hospitable considering it’s a vacation spot but that didn’t ruin our vacation or the hotel. We still had a great time and enjoyed the hotel

    Location was directly on the beach which was what we were looking for. And the view was spectacular from our suite. I loved that I was able to relax on the balcony and enjoy the ocean view and consume the the sounds and wind from the waters.

    I was very disappointed that I booked thru Booking.com and thought I was getting an accurate price only to be charged an extra $50 because we used your service. We will not use booking.com again. This is the second time this has happened to us.

    Parking is Very limited if you stay in the beachfront side there are only a few Parking spots. We had to unload our luggage (we were allowed to park in the front) come back down and park the  car across the street. Pillows where flat. You have to pay for umbrellas and chairs. Room service never came to the room however we saw them everyday we came in and out sitting and/or walking in front of the hotel.

    Location was right by the beach. Room was beach view they also had a hotel across the street. Room was clean. Hotel was quiet.

    My debit card was accidentally overcharged by almost $900. The manager tried giving me credit for it but it may take 2-3 days before it gives me the credit back!

    The rooms need to be updated, but very doable. The NO SMOKING on the property NEEDS to be enforced. My morning coffee on the balcony was short lived by smokers on the neighboring balcony.

    We liked that the hotel was on the beachfront. We had a balcony room on a high floor overlooking the beach and a full kitchen.
