They upgraded us for free which was no favor at all when we got there our keys wouldn’t let us in and we were on forth floor so we had to go all the way back down. At first it seemed nice great view from the balcony looked comfortable but the shower had a plastic tile on ceiling that fell down so no one wanted to use the shower the tv didn’t work it said no signal the Wi-Fi was horrible Shower was dirty, expensive for what we got or what we didn’t get I should say

They failed to mention the rooms conjoined or else I would not have booked. They say they have breakfast they have single serve cereal and juice and when I told them issues I had all they could say was I’m sorry. It did have a beautiful view. But people coming in all hours of the night so loud I wouldn’t recommend it.

Bike week

I'll start on positive note. Great location. Location is incredible. Hotel-- out of date and falsely depicted on hotel.com. It was bike week so I should know better. PAID $330 for one night. Booked based on pictures. Room 304. Should have booked name brand. Two colors carpet. Green and orange. Cut right down middle. Bathroom was tiny and looked like homeless person installed everything. Tile was barely grouted. Pictures on hotel.com don't reflect what this place is. Only upset due to cost.

If you’re looking for an oceanfront with a comfortable bed and a beautiful view at an affordable price then this is the place for you. I come here twice a year just to get away from My busy life and when I leave I feel like a new person. They are doing some construction in the back, but my peace was never disrupted.

Room was clean but needed updating. We had a beautiful view of the ocean. Our check-in was fast and easy and the clerk was very friendly and informative. I would definitely stay there again.

Old and Nasty hotel

This hotel was old and nasty. Carpet was disgusting, bathroom tub did not drain properly, 1 bed was broke, very humid damp room. Adjoining door to other room did not look secure. Wore shoes always in room because when first taking shower black dirt from carpet came off feet. Toilet is low to floor, old and was not secure to floor. Was not worth the $. Still no beach access many months after storms. Did not sleep under covers used our own. And did not go to breakfast. DO NOT Recommend.

Old and Rundown Hotel

The photos online look nothing like what this place really is. It is very old and rundown. We couldn't even walk out onto the beach because there was a fence all around the property. The door to our balcony wouldn't even open and close properly. The price we paid for what this place was supposed to be was way too high.

Dirty and roaches

What you can see on the pictures online is a lie. The resort is dirty and full with roaches. Me and my family got there late night around 11pm and could not stay because of the roaches everywhere in the room. We left and had to find a new accommodation. I do not recommend this place to anyone to stay.
