Was amazing had the best time with my husband. Had the walk out room all the way in the corner 131. We had privacy and we felt like we were along. The tv sucked and the bed was ruff the first night. But the ac worked so good. The water in the shower stayed hot. The beach was great but the pool was better. Loved it, will be back.

The room we reserved on Expedia was not even available when we checked in. We were told we were going to be given an upgraded room in place of that. The room we received had the ceiling covered in black mold. When we mentioned it to the front office staff all they did was smile and say oh I’m sorry. No offered for another room. No offer for a refund and of course management was in a meeting and not available.

Had to wait until 5:00 to check in. Room was dirty and messy. Smelled like mildew in the room and there was cigar tobacco all over the night stand with the clean bath towels thrown over the top of it. The “ocean front” was the view of the pool and the hallway stairwell.

You get what you pay for it was a cheap room for one night. Loved the easy beach access and the big pool but beds and pillows terribly uncomfortable rooms smell funny and we found dead bugs on the floor when we got to our room. Makes us think it wasnt cleaned good because the sandy feel and hairs in the bathroom floor.

They are in the process of renovating — which we did not mind the dirtiness from that. What was disappointing is the other vacationers who ruin low cost options for everyone else. Spilling food and drinks around the pool and not picking up after themselves. Our neighboring room kept leaving trash overflowing on the beach front. The 2nd half of our stay was better and there was more staff cleaning up after people. Just wished it was a little cleaner around the pool.

We had booked a 1 king room with a kitchen 6 months in advanced, upon arriving we were told that our room wasn’t ready and wouldn’t be ready for us in time. Granted the front desk lady was nice and said that she would “upgrade us no charge” to a 2 queen bed and kitchenette. We asked to see the room before agreeing and she kind of just ignored our request. We agreed due to driving all day and being tired. I wasn’t a fan of not being able to screen the room before hand but going in the room it appeared clean, there were a few stains on the sheets and the floor wasn’t very clean our socks were dirty after walking around in the room for not even 5 minutes. We brought our own sheets to use and after showering on day one we found a cockroach. Thankfully no more appeared. They sat on the 3rd day of your stay your room will be cleaned. It wasn’t. We had to ask multiple times for someone to come clean our room and give us new towels. I wouldn’t recommend using the dishes they’re not clean. Overall it wasn’t the worst experience I have had but it could definitely be better.

You get what you pay for here. View and closeness to the beach is great, but the room/building itself is very outdated/ needs fixing. Not like the pictures. Molded ceilings, especially in the bathroom, saw a few roaches, linen stained, not fully dry. I ended up using my own sheets/pillow and beach towels. The first room I was given the bed looked like it had been napped ontop of, room was dirty, tv was on and blaring, and a half eaten muffin was on the counter. It’s worth it to pay a little extra for guaranteed cleanliness. Would not recommend.

Nice Hotel at a Nice Price

The hotel itself was fine. They advertise they are a smoke free facility, however, they do not enforce it. The room floor was covered in sand, and no cleaning service during our 3 night stay. Had to ask for extra amenities. Those are all things that can be fixed and wouldn't stop me from booking there again.

Stayed here 55 years ago and went back to see if I could regain my youth. The stairs to the room were a pain, and the upkeep of the rooms was dismal. For the price it was OK. It was clean and the beds slept well. Probably won't go back.
