We stayed here with our kids during spring break and had a decent experience. The best parts were the easy beach access and the ocean-view room (definitely worth the upgrade). The two hot tubs and indoor pool were also lifesavers—especially on colder days when the kids needed entertainment. Another plus was the short walk to a nearby park and the pier, which added some variety to our outings. That said, the property itself feels tired and outdated. The bathroom was cramped, and the aging decor made the whole place feel worn. My biggest complaint, though, was the smoking area right by the elevator. Every trip to our room meant walking through a haze of smoke—not ideal with kids in tow. The hotel should really move it to a less-trafficked spot. One other letdown was the food at the on-site Pancake Factory. The taste and presentation were both below average, so we ended up eating out more than planned. Overall, this place works if you prioritize location and basic amenities, but don’t expect luxury or great dining. With a few upgrades and better management of the smoking area, it could be much better.

Nice little place

The place was in a great location with easy access to the beach. Rooms were pretty clean. Beds were comfortable. Stove and full size fridge was super convenient. Areas around pools were clean. Outdoor hot tub wasn’t hot at all, but the 2 inside were. Only one elevator, but the place isn’t huge so waiting for an elevator wasn’t terrible. The staff were all friendly.

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.

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.
