Great staff, is what made this stay nice.

The staff was excellent from the moment I got there. They were all willing to help or be of service. The room however was not so flattering. The toilet ran all the time. I did let maintenance know and he was willing to fix it right then but I asked he not go in until we got back. By the time we got back, he was off. Not his fault. The cabinet in front of bed was falling apart and not so clean. Beside the air conditioner, was not very clean and you could tell had not been swept or vacuumed. The bathroom was so small that I had to stand beside the toilet to even shut the door and the shower, you bumped your arm on handicap bar everytime you moved. The best part of the hotel was definitely the hot tub since it was cold outside. The outside is absolutely beautiful.

Grimey. Dirty. Smudges and grit in corners on furniture. Bed hard. Old. Not charming. Few/No amenities functioning or in operation. Room had lights reflections off of exterior lights reflecting in room. Hard to sleep. Place is ready for extensive renovations. Overpriced.

Beautiful ocean views from every room. Very friendly and helpful staff. The facility is kept very clean. The showers are outdated but water pressure is good. The pet fee is higher than other area hotels. Overall a good experience. I will definitely return - but without my dogs.

Beautiful view of the ocean. No restaurant on site but is supposed to be open soon. Pet fee of $75 plus tax is excessive. Room is comfortable with refrigerator and microwave. Shower is outdated and needs new faucet and a better curtain. Nice furniture on balcony and grounds. Friendly staff.

The pet fee was excessive, the shower was outdated and the handle needed replacing, the restaurant and bar were closed, the hallway leading to the rooms are not heated - you had to wear a coat to get ice.
