“Save your money..”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

This hotel needs a facelift. They have obviously spent their money on large murals in the lobby and gaudy decor for the lobby and spent none where they needed to, on the rooms.
The rooms are old and musty smelling. Linens were older and rust stains. Also rooms had chipped paint and older furnishings. Not enough outlets older wiring the hotel had improvised by adding an extension cord and power strip...hazardous..carpets felt sticky but could have been humidity.
Very disappointed for the money...better to stay anywhere else....

Room Tip: Bar outside is not open right now...

“Never again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012 via mobile

We stayed for a weekend and quickly learned we made a mistake. There is one positive only and that's that it is on the beach. Mold in the room, and the room and furniture looked wore out. It's about ten years past a need for a renovation. While we were there the water stopped working to the entire hotel for four hours. We walked across the street to the comfort suites who let us shower and realized we wanted to stay there. The comfort suites are only a hundred yards of the beach and the hotel is beautiful. Go there!

“Good location. Old Hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

This hotel is old and could really use a makeover. The hotel staff was very friendly and the location was nice right on the beach. If you're going for location this is a nice place, but otherwise I don't think I'd stay there again. I would never call this a 3 star hotel.

“Perfect spot.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

Really enjoyed my stay in June. It is a little dated but the location makes up for that. The pool side bar was a fun place to sit and listen to live entertainment. Food was good in the restaurant. Hotel is right on the beach. Staff was very friendly.

“Needs a lift”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

The 50 y/o hotel (according to the desk clerk) had been updated but was still pretty shabby. The a/c didn't dry the air enough in the room so it was damp and hot or damp and cold. The restaurant was trying hard but didnt get there. The buffet was still being set up at 7:45 AM Its like a family runs the hotel and didn't spend the money to fix it up all the way bcs my room had undermount granite sink and a fairly new faucet. An entertaining mother daughter team of bar tenders/restaurant manager make the place more tolerable however. The chef got my food wrong two days running. To their credit they offered to fix it but I didnt chance that. Its a shame because the location rocks there's just so much work to be done. A light fixture above the shower in my room had exposed wiring. There was a light strip exposed w/stuff plugged in it and the rug was pulling away from the wall by the a/c where it got wet. I could have changed rooms true but I was working a tight schedule and didnt really have the time to. Besides the whole place was old I expected a whole new set of issues in a new room. I played it safe and didnt complain to the manager so thats my bad I guess but really?!. Wednesday morning I noticed two mysterious bites on my left leg. Hoping they are not fatal. Fleas or ants I'm thinking were in the bed.

Room Tip: The walls are paper thin here. Some young lady got lucky the first night in the room next to mine. E...
