Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean, the staff was friendly. The only bad thing is there's no elevator. I did not realize this until I checked in, and they had no open rooms on the bottom floor, and was put on the third floor and with my health issues I couldn't enjoy going in and out to go to the beach as I would have liked to.

We did not get the warm fuzzies when checking in. The "lobby" is just a small room with no decoration, staff member was not outgoing or friendly. I was aware that there was no elevator, but the outside concrete steps on a cold rainy afternoon were not fun. Room was just ok. No toilet paper holder so we went old school and had to sit the toilet paper on the bathroom sink. The back cover was missing on the door lock which made it look run down. The $14 "resort" fee we were charged was funny. "Resort"??? The room rate was low, so I guess you get what you pay for.

I have stayed here before, and I knew the place was run down, but it was clean. This time it wasn't clean, sheets and blankets were stained, and the internet was in and out all weekend. I stayed on the top floor, and there are no elevators. Staff was preoccupied talking and joking with each other instead of checking me in promptly. The only perk was the ocean view.

Booked a balcony but got ground level by the pool. Staff was VERY sketchy we didn’t feel comfortable leaving personal belongings in the room while we left for the day. Felt like we were being watched!! Beds were on some kind of metal frame that moved and were very loud. Tried the pull out bed but that was rusted and chipping and the sheets were dirty and had rust all over them.

Staff was very nice. Room was clean, floors were not mopped. Beds firm but ok. Beautiful view. We were on 4th floor and NO elevator. That was a little difficult with bad knees but we made it through. Great location.

This place has a great price and is very clean. It’s right on the beach! Realize it is older and may not have the pizzaz of a new built hotel/condo.

The front desk guy was really nice. The room was just OK. The beds were awful like you couldn’t even roll over without it making a horrible scraping noise on the floor. There was also a stain on one of our beds. The bathroom was clean and the room was a good size. We tried to check in early but they said they charged a $25 fee which was never unheard of from me so we wasted time so we didn’t have to pay the fee overall great place would stay here again.
