This hotel was a 1 minute walk to the beach which was amazing!! We stayed for only 1 night so it was great. The floors didnt look like they had been swept and the fire alarm kept ringing because the battery was low. But the service was amazing! I would stay again for a short stay.

We were guaranteed a late check in for booking through Expedia, however, when we called to advise the hotel that we would be arriving later than expected, nobody answered or returned our voicemails or emails. They refuse to give a refund even though we weren't even able to stay. We had to walk down the street in Florida late at night and try to find another hotel to stay at. Absolutely terrible service. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

We had to sleep in our car because they don’t have anybody in the whole property that give you your room keys at night, the lobby just open from 10am which is too late to 6pm which is too early for people that fly at night. They should pay one more person to give attention to people that comes to the hotel at night.

The location is great during the day, but you don’t feel overly safe as soon as it gets dark out. Things not supplied in the room: - a blanket - towels - soap of any kind. We also had to go a purchase more toilet paper and there was only 1/4 a roll in the washroom at check in. The floors were also not clean and we found someone else’s empty travel shampoo in the shower. The Broadwalk is great, and you are super close when staying at the hotel. Did the trick but won’t be back.

Very bad and not beachfront
NOT BEACHFRONT. I’m not sure how they can blatantly lie on the listing? The only reason we stayed here was because the hotel was supposed to be beachfront, but it is 2 blocks back from the beach and you cannot see the ocean at all. The property is a mess. Grass 12 inches tall, every piece of patio furniture and the grill rusted and broken. Garbage all over outside, including an entire case of beer and a man who slept in the courtyard all night. Door hardly locked, toilet hardly flushed, ceiling and walls were peeling away to nothing. This was so much worse than it looked in the photos. The woman who worked here was very nice but the office was locked even when they were “open” from 3-6pm (which is the only time you are able to check in). Just really bad.

Our room was pretty dingy with what looked like children's drawings on the wall and hairballs in the shower. We had one towel (3 people) for our two night stay despite asking numerous times at the front desk. Front desk hours are 10am -6pm, but no one showed up until 10:15 the morning of checkout. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone I like.

This property was terrible. The blinds on the windows were dirty and broken. The bathroom vanity was all broken apart on the bottom. Th curtain rods were all rusted. A huge refrigerator was in a corner that you couldn’t even open the closet all the way and there was only one hanger. The air conditioner, leaked water and got my clothes wet. The dresser was all busted up. The headboard was all busted up. there was one lamp in the room, which was busted. The mattress of the bed was not even on a regular bed frame, it was two rollaway bed frames supporting a queen size mattress. This property was absolutely horrendous, and I would not recommend it to anyone. And on top of all of this, there were all these hidden charges, such as property charge and parking charge .

The location is top notch - walkable to the boardwalk, one block from the beach. Very nice location! AC worked well. The room had a very clean and comfy bed. The front desk staff was great, let us check in a little early and were very friendly and nice. The property is in need of a serious renovation. There were no standard toiletries provided which is odd. The building just needs repairs and extensive renovation, it is just run down and in disrepair. The bathroom door looked kicked in and shabbily repaired. Someone We would not have stayed but for the proximity to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants. We booked it as part of a package with flights and rental car so we didn't know just how low end it was. I was surprised to find out that there is no one on the property after 6 pm until the next day at 10 am. That didn't feel very secure from an out of towner.
