The place had its issues; our coffee maker and refrigerator were both not working. The towels and sheets need to be replaced. The view and breakfast were very good. The housekeeping were hard working and ice. Overall, not a bad place but would not stay there again for the above issues.

Paint splatters all over the floor and poor painted walls. Creaky floors. When the people above my room walked across the floor it sounded like they were in my room walking about. It made for an uncomfortable and lacking nights sleep. Had to walk through on building (house) to walk outside in rain to enter the next building. Towels were small and very poor quality and rough to the skin. Would not recommend.

Location and beach view were excellent. Staff members were responsive. Room was adequate but had faint odor. Mattresses were uncomfortable. Towels were thin, rough, frayed and stained. Interior of elevator was unfinished.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Beautiful location. Helpful front office. Tabitha in was very helpful. Cons: Washcloths and towels were practically unusable because of their roughness and wear. Badly need replacing! Thankfully I had brought one washcloth with me. The bathtub was over knee deep with no safety bars. Did not feel safe climbing in or out of the shower/tub. Many delicious pastries, waffle, fruit, yogurts (no sugar free) and cereal choices for breakfast. Need to add protein (boiled eggs?) even if a pastry item has to be eliminated for budget. For diabetics, a couple small pieces of sausage found in a biscuit is not sufficient protein and thrown-away biscuit is waste. Tv would not adjust to live local tv channels, only streaming, so we missed our favorite shows and evening news. Awakened around 7:30 on several mornings by very loud, laughing cleaning staff outside door. This old hotel is a favorite of many but updates drastically needed. Won't return.

It was perfect. Only downfall were the millions of gnats mid Sept which is apparently mating season. We couldn’t even open our balcony door at all. So having an oceanfront without a balcony was sad. For my husbands birthday too. Wont come mid Sept again but would love to come back and use the balcony and not be swarming with bugs!!! Everyone was nice

This is an old facility that they have painted over. It has mold and smells. My wife and I both got severe head aches and she was throwing up all night. We could only stay one night and had to leave because of it.
