Just Beautiful!

I Took my family there & booked one night but ended up booking another night because of how much we loved this place! The staff is nice , the rooms are clean , beds are comfortable, the view of the beach is out of this world!! They offer breakfast in the morning from 7-10. It was overall an amazing beautiful place too stay. Whenever we fly back to the east coast we will definitely stay here again! 10/10

I only stayed one night, in February, so not the best time of year. Clean, but plain rooms, spacious. Typical hotel breakfast but plenty. Best thing is the location but it was too cold to enjoy! So, I'd recommend for the price. :)

Cheap stay, don’t expect much. Old and it was evident. Elevator was very sketchy, indoor pool was cold, our unit smelled strongly like fresh paint and the beds were junk. Thankfully it was only one night, I wouldn’t have wanted a longer stay there. It was clean.

Here is what I would expect in a room: Shovel the snow. I snowed Monday, by Sunday it should have been cleared Provide a heated room. Room was 41 degrees when we checked in There were 4 rooms booked, why was my ocean view room switched to streetview? Do not call me threatening to cancel my room because the front desk wants to go home. I was clear I would bethere 15 mins after AFC title game conclusion - astonishing that after making that point, I was told unless I was checked in by 11:30 I would lose room. Game ended at 9:30 why am I being hassled. If the room is 41 degrees - you need to provide blankets. We will never be at this property again.

This property inside and out is in need of a major upgrade. Couldn't lock the dead bolt on the balcony door, so I had to put a dresser in front of it. Toliet and shower is in need of a replacement, dirty vanity drawers, worn out bath towels, very thin blankets on bed and smelly pillows. Won't ever stay here again!

Not well sound proofed. Could hear guest's room hair dryer easily, as well as upstairs guest walking across the floor. In addition, repairs on adjacent room were being performed in the morning well before checkout or plan for waking. View of ocean was very nice, however, and room was clean.
