“If it were a kennel, I wouldn't leave my dog.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

This is a beautiful location, but the hotel is run down and worse then our local kennel. The ceiling is hanging down away from the studs. We have a chain to lock the door, but it doesn't hook to anything. The water is the color of tea. The furniture is old and worn. The air conditioner makes noise, but is not working. There are no amenities other than ice. They do have packets of coffee in the room, but no cream or sugar packets. I tried to open a drawer to find the telephone book, and the handle pulled out. Rooms for pets have no bedspreads. There is rust and mold on the walls. The parking lot is dark, no working lights. They run your credit card when you check in. I suspect it's because some would not want to pay at all. I believe they use to serve food and have buffets, but there was no evidence that they still offered these services

Room Tip: Ask to see the room first.

“Not a luxury stay but still decent”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

I'm a Florida native, I travel to different beaches often and stay for a few nights. My husband took me here when he proposed to me so, I of course enjoyed our stay there. We spent majority of our time out in the water and we enjoyed being able to have a beautiful view of the ocean for way less than most luxury hotels on the beach. With that being said, it is very old. I'm a little picky when it comes to staying in hotels because the thought of staying somewhere that isn't clean terrifies me. The room was clean and the layout was cute but, there was a strong, musty, moldy smell that sometimes made me nauseous (I have a very sensitive nose and stomach though). The paint was chipping on the walls outside and the balcony railings were completely rusted. The bed wasn't comfortable, we didn't use the kitchen because I didn't feel comfortable with it, the air unit puts out a very bad smell which also added to me feeling sick to my stomach. I used my own blankets when it was time to go to bed. The good part was the view and the price. If you are planning on spending majority of your time in the water and you're not looking for luxury then, this is the place for you. If you have a sensitive stomach to smells and you're a germ freak, I don't recommend it. I think this place just needs a bit of a makeover and it would be perfect for mini getaways. A brand new coat of paint, new carpets and/or air units would help tremendously. We probably will never stay here again. Our stay was terrific but, that was mostly because we got engaged. :)

“Adequate but not luxury”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

The hotel is older and it shows, everywhere. Many fixtures were rusted, the doors were run down, there's peeling paint, corners full of years of what-not, and dated decor. With that said, the room was actually clean. I was most worried what the bathroom would look like but it was clean and had no issues. There was a refrigerator and microwave in the room. There was a sketchy-looking coffer maker but the cord could reach the outlet (LOL) when sitting on the counter. The bed seemed hard, but I slept soundly with no complaints.

Staff was friendly and accommodating and they have free wi-fi! They say there's a restaurant but it seemed to always be closed. The pool was clean and gorgeous. This is not the place to stay if you want a luxury-style retreat. If you're just need a place to lay your head, this place is adequate.

“great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

if u r on vacation, it's not the best but for the price and the location it is awesome! Accommodations are lacking and I understand it is being renovated and they didn't finish so I am sure it will be better soon. I will go again.
