Stay was fine but the hotel is very old and dated. Basically like an old motel in a great location. I’m sure it is slated for demo or renovation soon with the upcoming development in the area. But it was clean.

Place is a dump!
This place is a dump! Run down and has not been updated in decades. Some of the people we saw staying there were unsavory, not sure if they rent rooms to homeless but did not feel safe.

Needs major improvements
Run-down, tired hotel in need of a major upgrade. Key cards stop working every day and need to be reset at front desk. Mattresses are extremely old and uncomfortable. Much nicer hotels at similar prices in the area

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was extremely kind and generous. There was someone smoking on the balony below us so the smoke came into our unit. The staff resolved it within a few hours. It would have been nice to have it resolved at our first request but no worries, the staff is great. The carpets need to be replaced, they are worn out and look dirty. It was a great space with a steller view. We would stay here again.

I love this gem of a classic beach hotel, our balcony was awesome to relax on and the location was excellent to the beach and tons of shopping and dining. So sad they'll be tearing it down next year for something super swanky that we won't be able to afford.
