I liked the proximity to the beach which was just down the street with easy walking distance. The beds were very comfortable and there was a lot of drawer space. I didn't use the pool but it looked very clean.

Very nice place and reasonably well maintained. Room was very clean. Some of the bathroom fixtures are rather dated. Great access to the beach. There is no boardwalk, or any walk that runs down the length of the beach in this area. There are plenty of places to walk on the streets, though. The hotel has 2 properties on either side of the street, and are both run by the same office. Parking spots are tight.

Our first getaway in 3 years. We love staying in the crest and thought we would try a new place. The staff were wonder. The place is super clean. The only down fall was no outlet to blow dry your hair in the bathroom. Very close to the beach. I would highly recommend this place to stay at!!
