I’ve stayed at this hotel just about once a year for the last 20 years and it is not what it used to be. It’s extremely noisy and not at all aimed toward family stays. I won’t be staying here again, which is very disappointing.

This property is on such a beautiful location but is highly over priced we paid 182.00 bucks for 1 night. The rooms are dark and gloomy, old amenities, no updates, very small and stuffy, the rest room and shower is tiny. Also they have different fees when you check in 20 dollars just for taxes, 37.50 per night parking or you have to wait for someone to pull out of a free space while the location is on the beach which means it's very busy and you have to do that everytime you leave the property also a 50 dollar per day deposit or a 200 dollar cash deposit per day which is not listed on the site at all for per day.The beds are extremely old and uncomfortable, the decor is frightening! They also have old lighting and everything else, the sink clogs up quickly, it takes a while for the shower to just heat up to shower as well as the sink, the toilet clogged up a few times. When we checked in I asked for a King suite upgrade as seeing they were empty on every site known to man kind and they said they had nothing available yet offered to switch us rooms to the next door of same size with the same problems I'm sure. Hands down worst stay I have out of 25 states! Also someone spilled a lot of water in the elevator, i fell in it. The best process was customer service at checkout because we did run from this nightmare but he was amazing gave us a refund for the remaining trip dates with no hastle thank goodness because we were out of their.Thanks to the maintenance guy and day shift gu

Location is the best! Lots of walkable dining options. Microwave abd fridge were nice. They have txting system, you txt them whatever you need and they bring it up ASAP, very handy! My big complaint was lack of blowdryer, and couch and floor could have been cleaner. But when right on the beach, sand is to be expected. Beds are comfy, towels are large and thick, not cheap or overwashed. Id stay again.
