We wanted to be as close to the beach as possible. The beachfront room was as close as you can get. Sand outside your door. It was wonderful.

Great location and views! The staff was very accommodating. There are no elevators so I asked to switch my room from the first floor to the third which is parking lot level. They serve warm cookies at check in time. The pool and tiki bar was great. There is a nice shower rinse at the pool get the sand off. Patricia at the tiki bar was AWESOME. Lots of available parking, but no covered parking. The hotel is dated but I knew that going in. My least favorite was the small bathrooms. It is within walking distance to a few restaurants including Hooters and Harpoon Harrys as well as a few gift shops. Beach chair rentals are available and there was live music on the weekend by the bar.

It is like a glorified motel 6 on the water. Do not stay here!! Yes, it has a balcony you can sit on and see the water but you can’t sit there peacefully without smelling marijuana the entire time! Springhill Suites is next door and is more expensive but look like Taj Mahal compared to this hotel. The pictures online are AI, so don’t fall for it like I did!

The hotel is old and so are the rooms. Bathroom
Tub/shower was filled with mold we didn’t step foot in it the whole time. Doesn’t seem clean at all, housekeeping? I had to request multiple times, location on beach was phenomenal though

Staff at check in was very friendly! Location on the beach was perfect! The view from our room was great! Water in sink took forever to go down. Tub needs an upgrade. For the price we paid $216 total on a Saturday and Sunday night we were satisfied. Woke up this morning to a false alarm fire alarm at 6:15 AM. Walking location to other places was perfect also!
