We were there with another couple that's has stayed there several times. Very comfortable. The restaurant is really good. Enjoyed our stay and will go back again.

2 night stay

The best thing is you have beach access and the cafe is really good. The WiFi did not work and the rooms are very dated and didn’t have a blow dryer. The parking is very limited so if you have two cars you have to find parking for your second car elsewhere. It’s pricey for what it is in my opinion.

Dated

Perfect location on the beach, the Beach Cafe was delicious. The Palms Resort needs an update, old mismatched furniture, rusty doors, coat rack fell off the wall. They provided mineral oil to remove the tar off your feet, that was helpful.

Great value and location! Older hotel but clean and big rooms. Loved cafe right at the hotel. After birding most the day took walks at the beach and ate most meals at the cafe. Parking was facilitated by a new parking attendant we made sure hotel guests were not squeezed out by cafe guests. We had a brand new king size mattress that was super comfortable. Would stay again.
Sally, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A gem!

The outside looks sort of run down but the rooms are actually super cute and clean. The attached restaurant had good food. The parking lot is the only issue we had because it’s so small. But overall this place is a hidden gem right on the beach!

Great stay!

It was great! Right at the beach and charming room with 60’s, 70’s vibe. We had out dog so being able to order to go from their cafe was perfect and the meals were all delicious!

Alexandra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved that we were right on the ocean! The hotel was affordable and had a reasonable cancellation policy as we were uncertain about our probability of coming. We had deluxe king rooms which were accommodating for everyone. The room was cleaned every day. Reviews mentioned parking was a problem but Will, the parking attendant, was hired to make it much easier for the people staying at the hotel to park. He managed to always put us in a good parking position for a large SUV. The cafe was awesome and was super nice that it was right on location. We ate there three times and the food and drinks were always good and prices were very affordable. Excellent value and great location.
