“Great location, like a private beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

You feel like you have your own slice of the beach. Room had fully equipped kitchen except for an oven (toaster oven instead). All was quiet for three days and then the family from hell moved in. Tons of kids and too much noise. Running up and down the hallway all night. We shared a secure corridor with them so it was a pain in the rear to hear banging on the outer door because the kids couldn't get in. Go when the kids are in school and you should have a nice stay. Maid service is available for a fee. They clean once before you arrive and will clean again once you leave.

Room Tip: Choose a larger room. The views for the smaller rooms are not great.

“Sleeping to the sound of the ocean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

Loved the location & loved the room. Our room #W44 was fabulous. It had a door to the balcony from the bedroom & also from the living room. It has a full kitchen that is stocked with everything you might need - including a wine opener!
We decided to go out of town at the last minute so I only booked one night. I have issues with my back so if the bed sucks we find somewhere else. The bed was very comfortable & had a white comforter - which I love cause it can't hide gross stains so we stayed another night. Staff was very accomodating & friendly.
They also have covered parking with roomy parking spaces.
Our gps didn't take us to far enough down & the street was dark with no lights. It's about 1/2 mile past Woodys.
Will definately be going back in the future.

Room Tip: W44 - Great view with doors that open to the balcony in the bedroom & living room

“Expected more.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 9, 2013 via mobile

The location and view was nice. The pool wasn't heated. The room was very noise. Could hear chairs moving on the floor of rooms above and beside and people walking which woke us until 2 am. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Bathroom had silverfish. Wonder if $207 a night in March could have gotten a better room?

“Weekend getaway, pool is excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 27, 2013

Pro:
- good location, away from the crowd. Convenient access to the beach directly from the hotel.
- great pool: the pools are excellent! maintained at 80F at the pool and 102 F at the Jacuzzi while outside temperature is 50 F. We had such a fun time swimming in a cold day outside.
- Nice interior: Nice setting, full kitchen with all necessary equipment for cooking.
- Activities: movie night and pop corn for kids. also can check out movies and books and board game for free. beach volley ball and stuff.
- on site store: even though we didn't have to buy anything, however this is a nice service that you don't have to drive out if you forgot something.
- friendly staff.
- we stayed at the west side the first time, east side on the 2nd time, great sunset and sunrise overlooking the ocean.
Cons:
- can't think of any. We love this place and for sure will go back.

Room Tip: We like east side of the hotel.
