My boyfriend & I stayed here for labor day weekend and were really satisfied with the outcome. The hotel is old but was very clean. The view from our balcony was awesome and was really close to the beach. The front elevators were very decent and new looking, the pool was small but didnt care we had the beach! The... more

This hotel had so many problems. The bathrooms had mold in it and their were clumps of hair already in the drain when I got their. For some reason the floor would become wet and every 30 minutes we would have to use one of our precious towls to clean it up. The reason why the towls were precious was... more

We read several of the reviews before staying here and were surprised at how accurate they were. When I checked in, the guy at the front desk was snobby as if he thought I didn't belong there (he was right);When we needed dry towels we had to exchange them at the front desk - we dropped them at the desk... more

This place is just nasty. We stayed in a 2 bedroom "suite" (ehem) that was increadibly crowded. It claims that it's accomidations for 6 people. Maybe if you are only planning to sleep, but hope you don't all plan on sitting down to watch tv or eat while your there. We are a family of 6. Group included myself, husband,... more

There is a pile of junk in the lobby area. The front elevator is blocked with pressed wood, and the back elevator is scary to ride on. The halls STINK the rooms stink. There was a used bar of soap, dirty footprint and hair in the shower. Hair in the sink, nasty stuff on everything. They charge for everything including... more

From the moment we checked in the front desk was rude. Charged the wrong credit card for the room after I specifically asked for it to be changed. No hotel security, as she blurted out our room number in front of the entire lobby. You can't move in the elevators as they will lock up and bells will go off.... more

The hotel is an older hotel but is very clean and I am picky about the hotels I stay in. The service was good, the staff were nice and the price was excellent. We had a single room with 2 queen beds and our friends had a 2 bedroom suite. That's the only thing I will change next time is... more
