This place was everything I was hoping for. Beautiful location, amazing beach front, simple clean rooms, easy parking, even breakfast delivered to our door. I don't like paying for extras I don't use, so the value for experience was perfection.

All in all we had a good stay. Unfortunately we did encounter some issues. The floor was very dirty. So dirty that in the walk from the bed to the shower we left black footprints in the shower. And it's a laminate floor. They were having problems with the elevator, so the utility access door just across the hall from us was propped open with a fan running and there was a lot of noise. The staff was excellent and friendly, though. And they can't control the other guests, although we heard good reports from our neighbors about how the staff handled an incident. I would stay again, but there is room for improvement.

This hotel is long overdue for some basic maintenance. Elevator went out the first time we used it and we were on the 4th floor! Carpeted stairwells were filthy. Linens were pilled and felt “sandy”. Would not recommend this property!

The hotel was clean and comfortable although not especially noise-proof. The breakfast-in-a-baggie hung on your doorknob is a little weird. The location--on the beach--is perfect!

The Baywatch inn was an excellent place for us to stay. As someone who’s well versed in traveling, I can absolutely recommend this place and will happily stay there again.
