The room stunk so bad. I couldn’t sleep. I have a horrible headache and Im exhausted. When a room smells so bad you can’t sleep, What a waste. This is a very old hotel, no. bells and whistles, which is completely fine. But the smell was so bad Its in my clothes. The staff was like, oh ,let me give you free parking. Well sheesh. Thanks for the peutrid smelling of room and the headache from hell because it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff were very nice & polite. The property lists that it has an outdoor area for pets. I have two service dogs & the area was nothing more than a flowerbed area full of rocks along the public sidewalk. I stated when I called that I needed a room big enough to maneuver a wheelchair around. I could get in the room but could NOT freely move through it in my wheelchair. The beds were so high I almost couldn't get into them, & I'm 5'8!

Old beach hotel, charming!

Our room wasn't ready until 5 even though check in was at 3. The hotel handled it though, it was an old beach hotel so it did have its charm. Good sized room and very comfortable. Breakfast was just so so.
