The property is right on the beach and has a heater pool that is very nice. It appears there is new management, and there was a flurry of activity to improve the outward appearance of the property. The building is old and tired and needs the attention it is getting, There is no bar or restaurant, although there is one at the pool that is not functional.

In all my travels, this is the noisiest hotel. The walls are paper, thin. And throughout the front of the building in all the entryways, our kids running up and down the hallways, screaming and banging. I work nights and I sleep days and asked to be away from the noise as much as possible, but that made no difference. I stayed here once and that was the last time.

Beach side of grounds was amazing. Beautiful, spotless, relaxing. Street side was average at best in condition and cleanliness. Rooms were average. A lot of paint overspray on every surface. No washcloths. Toilet paper despenser hard to get to. Lamp base was rusty. Front desk was extremely friendly and helpful, as was maintenance. Housekeeping opened the door without knocking.

Only bedroom is good, other than that nothing is good. You would not get a towel. You need to go ask and collect, toilet is worse. No place to take a shower. Full of sand in the room. Only good thing is it’s almost on the beach, just come out of the room and you would find yourself on the beach.
