We have stayed here a couple of times and really enjoyed the experience. The hotel is literally steps from the beach and had all the amenities you could want-restaurant,pool,bar,hottub etc..parking was plentiful and check-in was a breeze! Plenty of local restaurants to eat at and a putt putt course and go cart track close by. Also the aquarium was a couple of blocks away. Definitely will stay here again.

Hotel charged separately for parking. $21 per day! This charge was never disclosed at any time, even after full payment was submitted on line in advance. Only at check- in was this charge presented. Seems like an intentional dishonest scheme!

I liked the convenience to the beach and friendly staff. The only down side was the size of the beds. The beds are more like the size of a full size bed not a queen size. The hot tub was not operating correctly but we still enjoyed the pool.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
A lot of amenities are unavailable. Staff can be very rude. A patron accidentally dropped his cell phone down the elevator shaft and when he presented this to the lady at the front desk, her response was “what do you want me to do about it“. I have stayed here several times and this was the first service by far.

I had made a mistake booking my room so I called Expedia to add a guest and change rooms to a double room. Expedia was told by staff there were no other rooms available even though it showed in the website. They finally changed our room when we arrived but we were on the pet friendly floor. When arriving in our room the fridge was not working and the balcony had water covering the ground from the AC leaking water and the balcony above was dripping onto our balcony. We asked for a new room after showing pictures and explaining it was hazardous as someone could fall and we needed a fridge as we were there for almost a week for work which we were given a new room in the same pet friendly floor. This room was okay but the floor was dirty and we found someone’s medication in the floor plus the door to the fridge was broke which we took pictures and showed the front desk so we were not charged for it. After trying to sleep I was kept awake by the broom next doors dogs and then walking in and out to take them outside. I asked for another room the next morning and was switched to the floor above. Again the room was fine but the fan in the bathroom was not working and I had to go down to the front desk due to the people next door screaming and yelling in the middle of the night. I called the front desk and they called the police.I switched rooms the last night which finally was perfect! I wish I had that room the whole stay I was there. I was only compensated $40 from the GM.

All the rooms in the hotel face the ocean which is beautiful. The hotel needs more staff, but the staff they had were excelent. As it is early in the season i dont see this being a long term issue. Booking through expedia they exclude the daily parking fee which I find irritating as i never would have found the hotel without using their site, but it won't stop me from staying there again.
