Beach access, restaurants right next door or within walking distance. Small parking lot below the hotel, but spill-over parking just across the street. The rooms were fairly clean and spacious. Would definitely stay again.

Decent. Bring a cooler, as the fridge is just “cool” and there’s no way to control the temp. Also, the AC wall unit will need to be jacked down to the lowest setting to be comfortable bc for some reason hot outside air is just leaching through the returns in the ceiling. The pleasant surprise was that we had a balcony facing the restaurant next door but the sliding door to the balcony is like 100% soundproof so there’s that. The parking is limited and tight, but they will let you park there and hit the beach prior to checkin, and you have a parking pass you put in your windshield that only has a checkout date on it so you can leave your car there literally all day on your checkout day and stay at the beach. Super easy access to the beach also. The best part I have to say is, seeing the warren of rabbits as we walked from the garage on the boardwalk down to the beach. Every day, it was a beautiful thing.

We had a great experience, mainly because of the location, free continental breakfast, and pool. I do feel it’s a bit overpriced and bathroom was small. Other than that, I am satisfied and it was worth it. There were several restaurants, ice cream, bars, shopping and beach all within a few minutes walking distance. Front desk staff was very sweet also the manager.

Great location, no service

The hotel location is excellent. There is only 1 elevator for the whole hotel. On our first day someone had dumped a whole cooler of ice in the elevator, and unfortunately just left all the ice inside like elevator floor. The room doors are very heavy and stick, would be very difficult to open if elderly or disabled. Our bathroom sink would not drain. There is no cleaning service. Though if you go to front desk they will give you clean towels and a broom to clean your own room. Breakfast offered is the same exact thing every day.
