Staff was very friendly and helpful. Black curly hairs in bathroom. Heater very loud. Heater cover fell off in the middle of the night and scared us half to death. Dining was closed so no breakfast. No restaurants nearby.

This property is nicely updated with direct ocean views in every room. The rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. The large mini fridge and microwave are a plus. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I left my favorite pillow there after departing and the staff saved it for me until I could pick it up. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely come back!

The property is clean for a beachfront property. They’re doing a bunch of renovation since the new owners have taken over. We’ve been coming down here for years and love it.
