“Upgrades are being done...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 4, 2012

Just booked with them for our visit next year! Yes, the place is dated but they are upgrading it a floor at a time. We stayed on the forth floor, ocean front with a kitchen. Our room was clean and efficient but you could see age as with most economy hotels on any beach. Saltwater/salt air plays havoc on most structures. We were shown the rooms that have been updated and am very happy with the changes...new tile floors instead of carpet, new counter tops, new appliances, lots of new. But who goes to the beach to hang out in your room anyway...we go to the beach to go to the beach! So the thing that impressed us the most was the FREE amentities!! Very nice beach bicycles, beach chairs, boogie boards, surf boards, sand toys, board games...you name it. My husband has always wanted to try surfing but never wanted to pay for leasons or to rent a board, so having one available free from the hotel he got to play around with it and have fun without a hassle. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

“Worst I have ever stayed in!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 29, 2012

This hotel was awful! Stayed in room 425 on April 21,2012. What used to be a sofa sleeper was broken so badly you could not sit on it. All the furniture was stained and mismatched.Two burners on the stove did not work. Kitchen floor was peeling up enough to make you trip.Ocean view sliders were so filthy we had to leave them open to have an ocean view. Cigarette ashes on floor as well. To top it off the toilet overflowed...soaking the entire unit.We waited a full hour for someone to deal with the toilet and finally gave up and checked out! Staff (Sara) was rude when we finally,quietly complained. Don't stay here!

“bed bugs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

Carol F. We had a 3 night stay. After reading the reviews I was a little nervous but thought I would try it any way. We live 2 hours away, so we could leave when we wanted to. The room was not very bad but not great. On the second night my husband was awake & killed many many bed bugs. Needless to say, we left in the mornig. The beach is wonderful but I would not go back there again. I told them about the problem & she said okay your all set with us.

Room Tip: Make sure you get an oceanfront room.
