I stayed there for spring break and I regret every moment I was there the room was filthy the balcony had food from the previous stay still there. I was charged $250 in cash for my husband smoking one cigarette on the balcony and I was not there at the time it took place. It's a racist hotel and my reason for saying this is because I'm black and I was charged $250 and you had whites on the same floor I was on smoking but because they didn't get caught they wasn't ask to pay.The manger lied to my husband like he was the owner of the hotel and then stalked them came to room several times hoping to smell smoke or catch him smoking went to the extreme talking about taking me to court for a $250 smoking fine etc. Like as if I was broke and couldn't afford $250. No room services all while I was there has a stove with no utensils or pots or pans to cook with and a very small room size refrigerator. Sand was all over the room when I entered it. I have attached the pictures of the dirty room when I entered it.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel is conveniently located right on the beach. You can walk right onto the white sand without a boardwalk, and showers are provided to wash off the sand. The rooms are old and musty, but I didn’t expect much else for the price. Might want to bring an extra blanket as the sheets and bed covering are very thin.

Love this hotel!

I actually stayed here for my sweet 16th birthday weekend years ago! The balcony was great, the rooms were clean, the carpet could use a deep shampooing but I understand with pools and the beach they get dirty. The indoor pool was amazing for my two little ones to swim while it’s cold! But love the staff, our stay was great!

Great beach visit

The lady who checked me in was wonderful. She really went the extra mile to resolve my situation. Thank you. The room is wonderful: spacious, clean, quiet, and I love the ocean side balcony. The restaurant is closed this week, so I won't get to sample that. The hot tub was nicely warm and felt good. Yes, I would stay here again.
