Views of the ocean were awesome. Beds were comfy. The hotel was bare-bones, lacked any polish. The staff wasn't really friendly, but the were not unfriendly. The think the staff should be retrained with an eye towards customer service.

Arriving at this hotel we were prepared that the hotel was older, however the smell of drugs in the elevators and floors were beyond unacceptable to experience. If the hotel says you can’t smoke cigarettes, than there should be a zero tolerance policy towards marijuana as well. The breakfast was a horrible atmosphere with old dirty looking folding and banquet tables and the food offered was extremely minimal and powdered creamer was completely unacceptable. The hallways were something out of a horror movie. The rooms are clean but old looking and not sure how this hotel is a 3 star but I guess the view is the only selling point of this hotel. Staff were friendly.

Everything but hot tub

My stay was OK. Pool, proximity to beach and balcony in room are all things I look forward to when choosing a hotel. The only major issue I had was the site “ stated” there is a hot tub, but there isn’t! The pic that portrays there being a hot tub in the pool area isn’t correct, what is there is “a child’s pool!”

We have stayed here several times before but this is the first time our room was not great. The toilet had some strange thing happening that made a terrible loud noise when flushed. The front door jam is splitting so the door was wobbly when opening and closing. And the room had an odor resembling a mix of musty and sewer. We spent little time in the room but the view and the beach were great!

Terribly dirty and unkept hotel! Not worth the price. It feels very unsafe due how unkept it is. It is gross... rooms, hallways, elevators and facility its just a shame. I didn't even dare to try the breakfast. Good view and convenient due to its distance to the beach area
