I do not recommend. The walls are paper thin and we could hear full phone conversations from neighbors throughout the night. The main halls are musty smelling. One night there was a horrible smell of someone smoking pot. The front desk offered to move us to the other building but that’s a total pain to do at night with 3 kids so we shoved towels by the door and opened the door to outside. Breakfast was not very good. For the price, you can get a way better hotel in my opinion. It was nice being on the beach though.

Love the new ocean front covered area and the showers/foot wash closer to the beach. Service was friendly and helpful like usual. Everything was clean and orderly. We love the included breakfast and took advantage of that each morning. If I’m being nit picky, I would like to see more protein options offered, though. 2 of the 3 grills were out of service this time. Hopefully, they get that remedied. They also seem to have a leak in the pool since they were adding water from a hose. Not a big deal but it does make the pool water colder.

Super close to the beach. Check in and check out staff were great! Room was clean and comfortable. The floors collected sand and were gritty, but understandable since we came in from the beach. Walkways upstairs outside room should be updated. Breakfast was good.

We (a couple and our 9 month old) stayed for three days and had a pleasant experience overall. The kitchenette room was spacious. We enjoyed being so close to the pool and beach and the breakfast was very nice. Only "complaints" would be that the floor in our room had a ton of sand and was dirty when we first entered, we went to a Target and bought something to clean it with. The couch also had some stains and sheets were a bit scratchy. But all said, we would return!
