Young lady at the front desk was phenomenal! Cheerful, polite and helpful. Room was good. Overall facility needs TLC, definitely needs attention. And they need to do something about the insects.

We go every year about this time and it's great. Staying here gives you permission to park across the street and have passes to the beach at the community of million $ homes. SWEET. They shared that while the summer was good the fall has been awful. I blame the Orange Failure in our white house for scaring everyone away!

Our room was clean and comfortable with views of the bay. The breakfast had a wide selection and one of the best continental breakfasts we've seen. The amenities are great with access to bikes and multiple pools. We definitely plan on coming back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
After hours check-in was easy; room, King sized bed and shower was spacious; staff was very friendly; and they provided a decent continental breakfast. However, the facilities showed their age, are bare bones with no amenities (e.g. 2 to tiny bath towels were provided and not much else. They use the brightest, whitest light bulbs (no warmth) and the walls are paper thin. Sounded like my neighbors TV show was playing my room. There is a distinct smell of rotting plant matter on the sound side of the property. Too expensive for the bare bones nature of the place.

What a gem of a place. The view from the waterside rooms is worth every penny! This place had that old school charm and hospitality you don’t get anywhere else these days. Bruce the bartender makes the stay memorable and makes you feel welcome. Book it for the views, stay for the stories, and enjoy the tiki bar and pool. I will be coming back next year. Such a memorable trip with this place. Bonus is the water sports are just outside the hotel and you get free access to the huge gym facility next door.
