The property was good overall. The beach is beautiful and we loved that there was food and beverage service right on the beach! It is a very walkable area with lots of dining and shopping options. The staff were very friendly although the housekeeping in our room was a lacking. Also, it is an older hotel that is getting a "refresh" this summer which will definitely improve the look of the hotel.

We like the location. We were not pleased with the oceanfront first floor room as there were so many weeds, etc. growing your view is not much. We would have preferred to have been on a higher floor. There was a big stain on the bed (gross). Some of the sheets had stains also. We decided not to change rooms because we had already put everything away. However, the bed stain was bad enough that the room should not have been rented until it was fixed or replaced. The employees at this hotel are very nice. However, we will likely try another hotel next time.
