Nice, convenient location. Right on the beach. Pool was nice although closed for season when we visited. Listing was misleading saying breakfast buffet was included, but it was not ($24.99 a person). Also the listing did not disclose you would be charged a fee to use a credit card. Had it been disclosed, I would have saved and brought cash. The food at the hotel was insanely expensive ($22 hamburger), so you may want to leave for meals. The rooms do have a fridge, microwave and keurig so you can bring your own snacks and drinks, which was a plus. Looking forward to coming back during the summer season with the kids to use the pools and other amenities. It is walking distance to the fishing pier which was had a nice view and a couple other restaurants in walking distance.

I tightened our bathroom knob as best I vould but it was about to fall off. Mind you I have spent 20 years in the hotel industry, even at one point running the housekeeping for a 5 star hotel. My room was not that clean our bed sheets had sand and strings from clothing from previous guests. As well as hallways etc looked as if they had not been vacuumed all week. THE NOISE was unreal we had a cleaner and more peaceful stay down the road at Village Inn ofor a fraxtion of the price and had access to much cleaner beaches as well. Save your money and just go stay on down the road some place.

This is an old resort that has been updated to a degree. Our room was nice enough, and the grounds had been taken care of nicely. The shortfall of the hotel is the breakfast buffet and the room cleaning. The breakfast buffet is billed at the restaurant ate of $27 per person, but it might be worth $10 at best. And then there is almost always a chronic shortage of food on the buffet. When we woke up our first morning, I called and asked to have our room cleaned. It didn't happen, sop I called again at 2:00. Both times I was promised it would be cleaned. It NEVER happened. And the only excuse was that they were busy.
