Don’t expect a ‘real’ sea view

Biggest disappointment was the sliver of ‘sea view’. The company has now built a new building in front of the original hotel almost completely blocking the sea view. You should amend your description.

Convenient

The hotel was in a great location and convenient. The room was updated but for some reason the door wouldn’t open very far because it was stuck on the tile. The check in staff wasn’t very friendly, but at check out the other staff was very helpful. Parking at the hotel was pretty exorbitant but convenient.

We checked in and the room we booked felt like a dark closet. I immediately called the front desk and asked for an upgrade. We paid the difference and were very happy with our ocean front room. I would have been very disappointed if we had to stay in the first room.

Bad stay!

Thanksgiving weekend holiday. Winter at the beach. The staff were very friendly and tried to help. However they were junior staff left alone on a holiday weekend with no ability to correct problems. The first thing I needed to fix in the room was the toilet {very old and out of date}. The room its self was very small, barely large enough for the bed. There are three nice windows looking out onto Main Street, a park and an ocean view. But to see the view, it is necessary to stand on the bed to see out the windows. Then there was no heat in the room. When I reported this to the staff, they were unable to find a room at the same rate that had heat. Apparently this is a problem as the staff went to two other rooms on the second floor, trying to find one with heat. This was odd as the hotel was almost empty of other guests. We were offered an extra blanket. No other solution was offered. So we packed up and left. We won't be back.
