Really liked the patio facing the beach and ocean Really hated that they charged $35 for parking in their lot and charged a $30 “Expedia fee”. What is that?? I have never had a fee added before for using Expedia.

Locked out and sad

"Oops. We made your keys expire a day before you checked out.". Nightmare. Unacceptable. I arrived after a marathon family wedding day on my third day at the hotel with my key cards not working and a dead cell phone. After memorizing the phone number posted on the closed office (at 10:35pm) and wandering around as a single woman trying to find someone who would let me use their cell phone, feeling unsafe, I finally found another hotel whose concierge contacted the phone number for me. After waiting another 30 minutes, The employee who originally checked me in the first day arrived and told me that my keys had been set to deactivate incorrectly (she was the one who did it) And she fixed it. I'm my room at 12:05am in pain and exhausted. I was offered was a late checkout - but I had a flight so that didn't matter. For what I paid to stay here, it was very barebones -- missing a lot of things I'm used to at similar hotels-- and this just put a giant red mark across the stay. Disappointed.

Excellent beach hotel

The location is awesome! It’s right across from the beach and has great views. I loved the open guest patio looking right out on the water. My dog loved it and she slept so well in the room. The bed was comfy and the room was spacious. Overall excellent experience!
