We were able to see the ocean but the rooftop of the restaurant was part of our view. However it was very nice having a great restaurant so close and it was not noisy at all. The amenities were very basic. The bed was comfortable and the room and bedding were clean. It would have been nice to have chairs or a place to sit in the room. It was good to have a deck looking out to the ocean which a lot of the newer facilities in the area were lacking. We love to hear the sound of the ocean and it was very close to the beach, which was a priority to us.

When I booked these rooms I booked so I could see the beach from my room. That is what the room stated. I wanted to see the beach. When I mentioned that to the hotel staff they told me it'd be an extra charge. I said, I booked the rooms with a beach view. So for an additional fee I could have that room. I was so upset. That's the reason I choose this hotel! Room was hot all night with the little window air unit. stains on pillow. bed was comfortable - I will give them that.

Staff was nice. They went out of there way to get another hose so I could get the sand off my dog. The floor in the room was slippery for her though maybe would be nice to have some towel since you bring in sooo much sand from the beach.

This property is right on the beach. The location almost makes it worth it. The hotel itself is very old and run down. The shower was made for very short people. My bedding was dirty and the tv was not working well. I would still recommend if location is super important to you and your on a budget.
