We enjoyed our recent stay! The rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Big balcony. Convenient free parking. Onsite restaurant was great. Decor, furniture and finishes were outdated if your into those kinds of things being modern. Balcony door in our room didn’t lock, so if you have small children that is not ideal (may have just been our room). Air conditioning was not cooling as much as we would have liked, but we are used to it being 68 at home and this one would cool to 74-72 with it being set as low as it would allow on the thermostat. Not unbearable by any means; you just may need a fan if you like it cold. We would stay again in the future.

Cigarette and pot smoke everywhere including the lobby, elevator and on the balcony. Sheer curtains were black at the top. Spill stains on thefloor near the refrigerator. Slider glass fogged so you can't see the view. Rude housekeeping staff member. HVAC would not cool room. Non working receptacles. Rusty tub drain. Very tired property.

I stayed here three nights. My room was on the 5th level and had a balcony with awesome views of the beach. The bathroom was recently renovated and everything worked well, including good water pressure and instant warm water. Some parts of my room had clear signs of aging and deterioration (ceiling paint stains, peeling, rust on balcony, etc). Lots of the exposed exterior hallways and common areas have same issues and they should be cleaner. Two access areas to the beach with hoses and foot wash were convenient. The onsite restaurant is convenient as it serves breakfast lunch and dinner with some good seafood selections. There was plenty of parking available at the property each day and night.
