Located directly on the beach with great beach access! Fridge and microwave in room convenient. Easy parking. Cleanliness needs improvement (mildew in shower and smell). Reception forgot to notify us of room readiness for 3 hours with no apologies….disappointing service.

"Average" to "good" rating

I would rate this hotel as average to good. The hotel info sheet noted a limited staff, so room service did not occur until after 3 nights stay. (3 stars) On Wednesday pm 9/3, we went to the pool, however, the water was rather cloudy looking and not at all clear. I declined to get in. (below average) As other reviews have pointed out, the bathroom was small, however, it still serves it's purpose. (Okay with that). On the plus side, the location was great (ocean front/easy access). The room was clean and the bed comfy (good) and the front desk staff were very friendly (excellent). We would stay again and hope for a cleaner pool.

Nice Enough But Could Use Updating

Friendly, helpful staff. Comfortable enough. Needs some updating. WiFi is only usable in the office, certainly not in our room. Good for the price.

Exceptional friendly service

The manager, Kat was extremely friendly and helpful. She knew we wanted a quiet room and needed the elevator instead of the steps, she said she would let us know when it was ready. I used the lobby restroom and until I came out she told me it was ready even before check in time. She had reached out to the housekeeper to see if it was done before the housekeeper even reported back with the finished rooms. Everyone at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Room reeked of mildew and mold. The dehumidifier was full. I went and asked reception about someone in maintenance to empty it and get it running. They acted put upon but said one of them would be along in a while. We waited, then we figured out how to empty the thing without spilling water everywhere, it was so full. I still have a headache two days later.
