Although I don't expect a 5-star resort for the price, I at least expect disposable utensils if there's a kitchenette. Also, it has a mini-fridge, which is great, but it was off and warm when I got there. The bedsheets had what looked like pizza sauce on it. Also, the pool wasn't open, which is fine because it was cold, but I didn't love the green and dirty water in it. Is it ok for the price? Perhaps, but I made the reservation via Expedia, paid up, but when I went to check in, they charge me an extra $16 for extra "fees". And I understand, $16 is not a big deal, but it is annoying to be paying some random extra fees for no reason. I wanted to save money and that's why I chose this place, but after this experience, my wife would've preferred if we paid extra and stayed at a better place. This place just felt, I don't know, shady. And I mean, it was fine, but I would only stay there again if I'm either very strapped for cash or there was no other option nearby.

Super nice and friendly staff. Clean and easy to access from the Ocean Hwy. Property has a huge potential, just a bit run down. Water damage on bottom of doors, HVAC sys could be upgraded. Overall, a decent place to stay, close to the ocean and direct access to the bay waters.

Very friendly and helpful after hours

I had an issue where I left my laptop in the room, but the hotel then closed for the week I called the reservation line they sent somebody over who had to drive 30 minutes just so they can re-Treeve the laptop for me, which was very much appreciated very friendly there. Definitely recommend staying there again

Hotel overall was great. Front desk staff was welcoming, friendly and loved the view of the bay. The back area was gorgeous. Room was fine but there was hair all over the shower wall and a false eyelash under the soap (luckily soap was sealed). Also wish there were better outlets. But regardless - proximity, view & staff I would still stay there again easily.

They did not have cleaning staff and still charged a resort fee when we arrived. It was later in October. I will stay again as it is reasonablyt priced, and great location. Great for a family.

This place was amazing! I’m usually an ocean front girl but this definitely changed my mind with a room literally on the bay and on the ground floor. I would definitely go back. And the ladies in the office were so nice. Hidden gem for sure.
