The property was clean but could use a refresh. For the price it is a great deal. It is in a great location, walkable to the beach and entertainment. The ability to walk out of the room to sit on a private balcony or patio and watch the sun set over the bay in very nice. The staff were very courteous and helpful. I must not have read the fine print well enough and was shocked by the $175 fee for bringing a pet. That cost is for the week. Also a $16 fee for parking.

I liked the ability to walk to the beach and bay easily. Multiple coffee options nearby. I was surprised by the "resort" fee at check in. Additional $ to cover parking, pool (which was not open yet and scummy), and some games out back that we didn't play. Perhaps that fee was mentioned on the description and we missed it.

Very rude staff-the front desk agent this morning was the rudest person I have ever dealt with. I did complain my room was filthy- the so called blackout drape was so faded, you could see through it. It was replaced and a sturdier rod. Unbelievable- I could go on. Do not stay here. The only good thing about this place is the bay view, which I heard had flooded the bottom floor rooms-my room had a terrible mold smell…

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.
